I've applied the following 4 kernel patches to perf/x86-ibs:

 db98c5faf8cb: perf/x86: Implement 64-bit counter support for IBS
 4db2e8e6500d: perf/x86: Implement IBS pmu control ops
 b7074f1fbd61: perf/x86: Implement IBS interrupt handler
 510419435c69: perf/x86: Implement IBS event configuration

and pushed it out.

We can apply any tooling changes to this branch as well.

I suspect being able to skid-less profile on AMD CPUs, using 
IBS, would be a useful feature to users. What would be required 
for that to work?

Thanks,

	Ingo
