[PATCH V4 0/3] perf/x86/amd: AMD Family 16h Data Breakpoint Extensions

[Jacob Shin]

Oleg, Ingo, this is my final push for 3.10. I understand that it might
be too late for that .. if so I'll try again later for 3.11.

The following patchset enables hardware breakpoint bp_len greater than
HW_BREAKPOINT_LEN_8 on AMD Family 16h and later.

  $ perf stat -e mem:0x1000/16:w a.out
                            ^^
                            bp_len

Will count writes to [0x1000 ~ 0x1010)

V4:
Even more per Oleg's suggestion:
* Further simplify info->len and info->mask setting switch statement

V3:
More per Oleg's suggestion:
* Use already existing bp_len instead of changing userland API and
  in kernel turn bp_len into proper AMD hardware breakpoint address
  mask.

V2:
Per Oleg's suggestions:
* Moved testing of bp_addr_mask to validate_hw_breakpoint()
* Changed perf tool syntax to mem:<addr>[/addr_mask][:access]

Jacob Shin (3):
  perf/x86/amd: AMD support for bp_len > HW_BREAKPOINT_LEN_8
  perf tools: allow user to specify hardware breakpoint bp_len
  perf tools: add hardware breakpoint bp_len test cases
