[PATCH 10/10] ARM: perf: add mode exclusion for Cortex-A15 PMU

Will Deacon will.deacon at arm.com
Mon Aug 8 13:16:11 EDT 2011


The Cortex-A15 PMU implements the PMUv2 specification and therefore
has support for some mode exclusion.

This patch adds support for excluding user, kernel and hypervisor counts
from a given event.
