[PATCH v3 1/7] perf: Introduce ioctl to communicate driver configuration to kernel

From: Mathieu Poirier
Date: Wed Jul 18 2018 - 17:48:17 EST


Adding a new IOCTL command to communicate PMU specific configuration to
PMU kernel drivers. This can be anything a PMU might need for
configuration that doesn't fit in the perf_event_attr structure, such
as the CoreSight sink to use for a session.
