[RFC PATCH v2 00/10] Add support for the ARMv8.2 Statistical Profiling Extension

From: Will Deacon
Date: Fri Jan 13 2017 - 11:04:18 EST


Hello,

This is RFCv2 of the patches originally posted here:

http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2017-January/476450.html

Changes since RFCv1 include:

* Use EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL instead of EXPORT_SYMBOL
* Remove unused CPP macro
* Added tags for the first couple of patches (which are now queued in arm64)
* Added a brief overview of SPE to the commit log for the perf driver

All feedback welcome,

Will
