+ [ Impact ]
+ 
+ s390/cpumf: Update CPU Measurement facility extended counter set support
+ 
+ Update CPU Measurement counter facility support for the
+ extended counter set for machine types 9175 and 9176.
+ 
+ [ Fix ]
+ 
+ Backport the following patch from upstream:
+ - df194f57de71 s390/cpumf: Update CPU Measurement facility extended counter 
set support
+ 
+ [ Test Plan ]
+ 
+ Boot a z17 instance and run the command:
+ ls -l /sys/devices/cpum_cf/events | wc -l
+ The output must be 106.
+ 
+ [ Where Problems Could Occur ]
+ 
+ The fix modifies CPUMF event registration for IBM z17. A bug in this
+ patch may cause incorrect event exposure on unsupported hardware,
+ leading to invalid perf measurements, sysfs inconsistencies, or kernel
+ warnings due to misconfigured or non-existent counters.
