This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel in -proposed solves
the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the
results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-
disco' to 'verification-done-disco'. If the problem still exists, change
the tag 'verification-needed-disco' to 'verification-failed-disco'.

If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will
be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how
to enable and use -proposed. Thank you!

Title:
  ACPI support for the ARMv8.2 Statistical Profiling Extension

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed
Status in linux source package in Disco:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  perf support for the ARMv8.2 Statistical Profiling Extension does not work on 
ACPI platforms.

  [Test Case]
  ubuntu@d06-2:~$ sudo perf record -e arm_spe/ts_enable=1,pa_enable=1/ dd 
if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null count=10000
  10000+0 records in
  10000+0 records out
  5120000 bytes (5.1 MB, 4.9 MiB) copied, 0.0201586 s, 254 MB/s
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 1.354 MB perf.data ]
  ubuntu@d06-2:~$ sudo perf report --dump-raw-trace
  [...]

  [...]

  [Fix]
  d482e575fbf0f perf: arm_spe: Enable ACPI/Platform automatic module loading
  d24a0c7099b32 arm_pmu: acpi: spe: Add initial MADT/SPE probing
  56855a99f3d0d ACPI/PPTT: Add function to return ACPI 6.3 Identical tokens
  ed2b664fcc807 ACPI/PPTT: Modify node flag detection to find last IDENTICAL

  [Regression Risk]
  The functional changes are all ARM specific (while ACPI PPTT is generic, it 
is only enabled under arch/arm64 currently). There are new macros and an 
updated structure in generic code, but all pretty innocuous.
