[PATCH v2 0/4] perf: Add APM X-Gene SoC Performance Monitoring Unit driver

From: Tai Nguyen
Date: Tue Apr 12 2016 - 21:24:14 EST


In addition to the X-Gene ARM CPU performance monitoring unit (PMU), there
are PMU for the SoC system devices such as L3 cache(s), I/O bridge(s),
memory controller bridges and memory. These PMU devices are loosely
architected to follow the same model as the PMU for ARM cores.

Signed-off-by: Tai Nguyen <ttnguyen@xxxxxxx>

v2:
* Use bitmask for event asignned counter mask pmu_dev->cntr_assign_mask
* Remove unnecessary spinlocks in perf add/del operations
* Remove unnecessary condition checks
* Enforce CPU assignment to one CPU for perf operarations
* Set the task_ctx_nr to perf_invalid_context for perf driver
* Remove irrelevant pt_rregs
* Change perf sysfs attributes to be fixed instead of dynamic
* Fix checking for an ACPI companion device instead of EFI enable
* Add documentation for config/config1 fields format and perf tool example
