Cover letter [PATCH 6.6.y 0/4] perf/x86/amd: add LBR capture support outside of hardware events

Hi all,

This backport wires up AMD perfmon v2 so BPF and other software clients can snapshot LBR stacks on demand, similar to the Intel support upstream. The series keeps the LBR-freeze path branchless, adds the perf_snapshot_branch_stack callback for AMD, and drops the sampling-only restriction now that snapshots can be taken from software contexts.
