[PATCH v3 00/20] perf arm-spe: Refactor decoding & dumping flow

[Leo Yan]

This is patch set v3 for refactoring Arm SPE trace decoding and dumping.
In this version, it mainly addressed the comments and suggestions from
mailing list (mainly from Andre Przywara, thanks!).

This patch set is to refactor the Arm SPE decoding with:

- Patches 01, 02 are minor cleans up for header, typos;
- Patches 03, 04 and 05 are used to fix and polish the packet and
  payload length calculation;
- Patch 06 is to add a helper to wrap up printing strings, this can
  avoid bunch of duplicate code lines;
- Patches 07 ~ 18 are used to refactor decoding for different types
  packet one by one (address packet, context packet, counter packet,
  event packet, operation packet); it also introduces separate functions
  for parsing specific packet, this can allow the code more readable and
  easier to manage and extend code;
- Patch 19 comes from Andre to dump memory tagging;
- Patch 20 comes from Wei Li to add decoding for ARMv8.3 SVE extension.

This patch set is cleanly applied on the top of perf/core branch
with commit 7cf726a59435 ("Merge tag 'linux-kselftest-kunit-5.10-rc1' of
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/shuah/linux-kselftest"),
And I tested this patch set on Hisilicon D06 platform with commands
"perf script" and "perf script -D".

Changes from v2:
- Tried best to address Andre's comments and refined patches;
- Added new patches 08, 11, 13, 16 for introducing new functions for
  packets parsing (Andre);
- Removed size condition checking for event packet (Andre);
- Used PKT_XXX_GET() form to replace PKT_XXX_MASK()/PKT_XXX_SHIFT()
  (Andre).

Changes from v1:
- Heavily rewrote the patch 05 for refactoring printing strings; this
  is fundamental change, so adjusted the sequence for patches and moved
  the printing string patch ahead from patch 10 (v1) to patch 05;
- Changed to use GENMASK_ULL() for bits mask;
- Added Andre's patch 13 for dumping memory tagging;
- Refined patch 12 for adding sub classes for Operation packet, merged
  some commit log from Andre's patch, which allows commit log and code
  to be more clear; Added "Co-developed-by: Andre Przywara" tag to
  reflect this.
