[PATCH V3 1/5] powerpc, perf: Add new BHRB related instructions for POWER8

From: Anshuman Khandual
Date: Thu Apr 18 2013 - 08:27:14 EST


This patch adds new POWER8 instruction encoding for reading
the BHRB buffer entries and also clearing it. Encoding for
"clrbhrb" instruction is straight forward. But "mfbhrbe"
encoding involves reading a certain index of BHRB buffer
into a particular GPR register.
