** Description changed:

+ [ Impact ]
+ 
+ perf list: Add IBM z17 event descriptions
+ 
+ Update IBM z17 counter description using document SA23-2260-08:
+ "The Load-Program-Parameter and the CPU-Measurement Facilities"
+ released in May 2025 to include counter definitions for IBM z17
+ counter sets:
+ * Basic counter set
+ * Problem/user counter set
+ * Crypto counter set.
+ 
+ Use document SA23-2261-09:
+ "The CPU-Measurement Facility Extended Counters Definition
+  for z10, z196/z114, zEC12/zBC12, z13/z13s, z14, z15, z16 and z17"
+ released on April 2025 to include counter definitions for IBM z17
+ * Extended counter set
+ * MT-Diagnostic counter set.
+ 
+ Use document SA22-7832-14:
+ "z/Architecture Principles of Operation."
+ released in April 2025 to include counter definitions for IBM z17
+ * PAI-Crypto counter set
+ * PAI-Extention counter set.
+ 
+ Use document
+ "CPU MF Formulas and Updates April 2025"
+ released in April 2025 to include metric calculations.
+ 
+ [ Fix ]
+ 
+ Backport the following upstream commit to Jammy, Noble and Plucky:
+ - 508b228942b2 perf list: Add IBM z17 event descriptions
+ 
+ Since Jammy is missing also IBM z16 descriptions, the following commits are 
needed too:
+ - 7f76b3113068 perf list: Add IBM z16 event description for s390
+ - 74395567a301 perf vendor events s390: Add common metrics
+ - 850eea236f8a perf vendor events s390: Add cache metrics for z13
+ - add7894a25d1 perf vendor events s390: Add cache metrics for z14
+ - bdecfecac8ab perf vendor events s390: Add cache metrics for z15
+ - f8a6cea4839b perf vendor events s390: Add cache metrics for z16
+ - 4c290d4fa3ae perf vendor events s390: Add metric for TLB and cache
+ - eb2feb68cb7d perf vendor events s390: Remove UTF-8 characters from JSON file
+ - b6968f9b5035 perf list: fix short description for some cache events
+ - c2f3d7dfc737 perf stat: Do not fail on metrics on s390 z/VM systems
+ - b74bc5a633a7 perf report: Fix PAI counter names for s390 virtual machines
+ - 508b228942b2 perf list: Add IBM z17 event descriptions
+ 
+ [ Test Plan ]
+ 
+ Boot a z17 instance and verify that z17-specific events appear in perf list:
+ $ perf list | grep -i z17
+ 
+ [ Regression Potential ]
+ 
+ The regression potential of this patch is very low,
+ since it only adds IBM z17-specific perf event descriptions
+ without touching core perf or kernel logic.
+ Any issues would be limited to inaccurate or
+ unsupported counters on z17 systems,
+ with no impact on other architectures.
