[PATCH] perf arm-spe: Use SPE data source for neoverse cores
From: Ali Saidi
Date: Fri Jan 21 2022 - 13:26:08 EST
When synthesizing data from SPE, augment the type with source information
for Arm Neoverse cores. The field is IMPLDEF but the Neoverse cores all use
the same encoding. I can't find encoding information for any other SPE
implementations to unify their choices with Arm's thus that is left for future
work.
This changes enables the expected behavior of perf c2c on a system with SPE where
lines that are shared among multiple cores show up in perf c2c output.
