[PATCH 00/10] perf intel pt: Update instruction decoder for APX and other new instructions

Hi

The x86 instruction decoder is used not only for decoding kernel
instructions. It is also used by perf uprobes (user space probes) and by
perf tools Intel Processor Trace decoding. Consequently, it needs to
support instructions executed by user space also.

It should be noted that there are 2 copies of the instruction decoder.
One for the kernel and one for tools, which is a policy to prevent
changes from breaking builds.

Changes are based upon documents:

Intel® Advanced Performance Extensions (Intel® APX)
Architecture Specification
April, 2024 Revision 4.0 355828-004

Intel® Architecture Instruction Set Extensions
and Future Features Programming Reference
March 2024 319433-052

The patches depend on a patch by Chang S. Bae that they have already
submitted in their Key Locker patch set. Nevertheless, the patch is
included in this patch set as well.

The final patch is an update to the perf tools' "x86 instruction decoder
test - new instructions" test, which provides testing.
