[PATCH v7 1/6] perf: add ability to sample machine state on interrupt

From: Stephane Eranian
Date: Wed Sep 24 2014 - 07:49:18 EST


Enable capture of interrupted machine state for each
sample.

Registers to sample are passed per event in the
sample_regs_intr bitmask.

To sample interrupt machine state, the
PERF_SAMPLE_INTR_REGS must be passed in
sample_type.

The list of available registers is arch
dependent and provided by asm/perf_regs.h

Registers are laid out as u64 in the order
of the bit order of sample_intr_regs.

This patch also adds a new ABI version
PERF_ATTR_SIZE_VER4 because we extend
the perf_event_attr struct with a new u64
field.
