[RFC v3 0/5] perf tools: Add support for some spe events and precise ip

From: Tan Xiaojun
Date: Sat Nov 23 2019 - 04:24:47 EST


After the commit ffd3d18c20b8 ("perf tools: Add ARM Statistical
Profiling Extensions (SPE) support") is merged, "perf record" and
"perf report --dump-raw-trace" have been supported. However, the
raw data that is dumped cannot be used without parsing.

This patchset is to improve the "perf report" support for spe, and
further process the data. Currently, support for the three events
of llc-miss, tlb-miss, branch-miss and remote-access is added.

v1->v2:
Some cleanup and bugfix fixes were made, and support for the precise
ip of branch-misses was added. Thanks for the suggestions of Jeremy
and James.

v2->v3:
Mainly add four spe precise ip events, you can see through perf list.
More details in [5/5].

Tan Xiaojun (5):
perf tools: Move arm-spe-pkt-decoder.h/c to the new dir
perf tools: Add support for "report" for some spe events
perf report: Add --spe options for arm-spe
drivers: perf: add some arm spe events
perf tools: Add support to process multi spe events
