[PATCH 1/6] perf tools: Use ioctl to communicate driver configuration to kernel

From: Mathieu Poirier
Date: Mon Jul 02 2018 - 18:34:39 EST


Following in the footsteps of what was done for filters, adding the
necessary mechanic needed to push down driver specific configuration
to the kernel using an ioctl. By proceeding this way PMU specific
configuration can be communicated to each event.
