[PATCH v5 0/8] perf cs_etm: Basic support for virtual/kernel timestamps

[James Clark]

Changes since v4:

  * Rebase onto perf/core
  * Convert new perf_pmu__cpu_slots_per_cycle() function to use
    new helper functions
  
===========================
Changes since v3:

  * Scale time estimates by INSTR_PER_NS, rather than assuming 1
    instruction = 1ns
  * Add a new commit that fixes some issues around timestamps going
    backwards
  * Use nanoseconds inside cs-etm-decoder.c, rather than storing the
    raw time values and converting when a sample is synthesized. This
    simplifies some of the code like estimating the first timestamp.
  
===========================
Changes since v2:

  * Remove const to non-const change and copy strings where needed
    instead.
  * Use sizeof() instead of PATH_MAX
  * Append "will not be set accurately." to new error message
  * Remove unneeded stat() call
  * Rebase on perf/core
  
==========================

Changes since v1:

  * Add 3 refactor commits for sysfs reading around pmu.c as suggested
    by Arnaldo here [1]
  * The dependency on [2] has now reached mainline so is no longer
    blocking
  * Rebase on perf/core

German Gomez (4):
  perf pmu: Add function to check if a pmu file exists
  perf cs_etm: Keep separate symbols for ETMv4 and ETE parameters
  perf cs_etm: Record ts_source in AUXTRACE_INFO for ETMv4 and ETE
  perf cs_etm: Set the time field in the synthetic samples

James Clark (4):
  perf: Remove duplication around EVENT_SOURCE_DEVICE_PATH
  perf: Use perf_pmu__open_file() and perf_pmu__scan_file()
  perf: Remove remaining duplication of bus/event_source/devices/...
  perf: cs-etm: Ensure that Coresight timestamps don't go backwards
