[PATCH V6 3/3] perf tools: adding support for address filters

From: Mathieu Poirier
Date: Thu Sep 15 2016 - 12:38:24 EST


This patch makes it possible to use the current filter
framework with address filters. That way address filters for
HW tracers such as CoreSight and IntelPT can be communicated
to the kernel drivers.
