[PATCH v3 0/7] arm64: Add support for Armv9.4 PMU fixed instruction counter

This series adds support for the optional fixed instruction counter 
added in Armv9.4 PMU. Most of the series is a refactoring to remove the 
index to counter number conversion which dates back to the Armv7 PMU 
driver. Removing it is necessary in order to support more than 32 
counters without a bunch of conditional code further complicating the 
conversion.

Patch 1 changes struct arm_pmu.num_events to a bitmap of events, and 
updates all the users. This removes the index to counter conversion 
on the PMUv3 and Armv7 drivers.

Patch 2 updates various register accessors to use 64-bit values matching 
the register size.

Patches 3-4 update KVM PMU register accesses to use shared accessors 
from asm/arm_pmuv3.h.

Patches 5-6 rework KVM and perf PMU defines for counter indexes and 
number of counters.

Patch 7 finally adds support for the fixed instruction counter.

I tested this on FVP with VHE host and a guest. Also ran kvm-unittests 
in Arm's kernelCI.

Changes in v3:
- Fix using 64-bit counters in pre-Armv8.5. The chained event check 
  for cycle counter in armv8pmu_event_is_chained() was returning the 
  cycle counter needed chaining which is never true. Separate fix is 
  here: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240710182357.3701635-1-robh@kernel.org/
- Rebase to v6.11-rc1 and dropped already applied patches
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240626-arm-pmu-3-9-icntr-v2-0-c9784b4f4065@kernel.org

Changes in v2:
- Include threshold fix patches and account for threshold support in 
  counter assignment.
- Add patch including asm/arm_pmuv3.h from linux/perf/arm_pmuv3.h
- Fix compile error for Apple PMU
- Minor review comments detailed in individual patches
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240607-arm-pmu-3-9-icntr-v1-0-c7bd2dceff3b@kernel.org
