[Patch v2 09/11] ARM: perf: add PMUv2 common event definitions

Will Deacon will.deacon at arm.com
Wed Jun 8 08:30:31 EDT 2011


The PMUv2 specification reserves a number of event encodings
for common events.

This patch adds these events to the common event enumeration
in preparation for PMUv2 cores, such as Cortex-A15.
