[RFC V2 3/8] arm64/perf: Update struct arm_pmu for BRBE
From: Anshuman Khandual
Date: Tue Apr 12 2022 - 08:34:49 EST
Although BRBE is an armv8 speciifc HW feature, abstracting out its various
function callbacks at the struct arm_pmu level is preferred, as it cleaner
, easier to follow and maintain.
Besides some helpers i.e brbe_supported(), brbe_probe() and brbe_reset()
might not fit seamlessly, when tried to be embedded via existing arm_pmu
helpers in the armv8 implementation.
Update the struct arm_pmu to include all required helpers that will drive
BRBE functionality for a given PMU implementation. These are the following.
- brbe_filter : Convert perf event filters into BRBE HW filters
- brbe_probe : Probe BRBE HW and capture its attributes
- brbe_enable : Enable BRBE HW with a given config
- brbe_disable : Disable BRBE HW
- brbe_read : Read BRBE buffer for captured branch records
- brbe_reset : Reset BRBE buffer
- brbe_supported: Whether BRBE is supported or not
A BRBE driver implementation needs to provide these functionalities.
