[PATCH v9 13/20] RISC-V: perf: Add a mechanism to defined legacy event encoding

From: Atish Patra

Date: Fri Aug 07 2026 - 04:18:09 EST


From: Atish Patra <atishp@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

RISC-V ISA doesn't define any standard event encodings or specify
any event to counter mapping. Thus, event encoding information
and corresponding counter mapping fot those events needs to be
provided in the driver for each vendor.

Add a framework to support that. The individual platform events
will be added later.
