This patch set is rebased for Peter's patch set to support
cap_user_time/cap_user_time_short ABI for Arm64, and export Arm arch
timer counter related parameters from kernel to Perf tool.

After get feedback from Ahmed, this patch set contains Ahmed's new patch
to refine sched clock data accessing with raw_read_seqcount_latch().

This patch set has been rebased on mainline kernel with the latest
commit 994e99a96c9b ("Merge tag 'platform-drivers-x86-v5.8-2' of
git://git.infradead.org/linux-platform-drivers-x86 into master"); it
has been verified with Perf tool for Arm SPE timestamp enabling.


Changes from v2:
- Included Ahmed's patch to use raw_read_seqcount_latch() for
  sched_clock's seqcount latching;
- Changed to use mul_u64_u32_shr() for converting counter to ns
  in Arm64's arch_perf_update_userpage() (PeterZ).


Ahmed S. Darwish (1):
