[PATCH v4 0/4] perf: Add APM X-Gene SoC Performance Monitoring Unit driver

From: Tai Nguyen
Date: Wed Jun 22 2016 - 14:09:50 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.

v4:
* Alphabetically sorting header files
* Remove dynamic allocation for PMU format and event attribute groups
Create shared constant attribute groups per each class
* Remove perf_sample_data as this perf driver doesn't support sampling
* Consistently use the PCP_PMU_V{1,2} defines
* Set affinity to make sure the overflow interrupt is handled by the
same assigned CPU

v3:
* Remove index property use in PMU device sub nodes

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
