4.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Will Deacon <will.deacon@xxxxxxx> commit ca2b497253ad01c80061a1f3ee9eb91b5d54a849 upstream. It doesn't make sense for a perf event to be configured as a CHAIN event in isolation, so extend the arm_pmu structure with a ->filter_match() function to allow the backend PMU implementation to reject CHAIN events early.
