[PATCH 00/10] ARM: perf: updates for 3.2

[Will Deacon]

Hello,

This patch series contains a number of updates to the ARM PMU and perf
code so that we can support mode exclusion, which is new in debug
architecture 7.1 (as implemented by the Cortex-A15). Some of these
updates also coincide with work to support System PMUs (PMUs that are
not affine to a single CPU) but that is a larger body of work which will
be posted separately at a later date.

The patches do the following:

  1.) Greatly simplify the PMU reservation mechanism so that the
      handling of platform_devices is moved into perf.
  2.) Cleans up the interrupt registration and some of the types used
      to represent events and registers.
  3.) Moves event indexing to start from zero rather than one, making
      the code more readable and also easier to extend for mode
      exclusion.
  4.) Adds support for mode exclusion (user / kernel / hyp) and
      implements this for Cortex-A15.

I've been running these patches since 3.0, so they've been tested on
1176, 11MPCore, Cortex-A5, Cortex-A9 and Cortex-A15 platforms.

Once again, all feedback is welcome.

Will
