This patch series reworks the 32-bit ARM perf code into a library, and migrates
the arm64 perf code over to it, gaining support for heterogeneous PMUs. Support
is then added for Cortex-A53 and Cortex-A57 as used in Juno systems.
Previously the librification [1] and arm64 migration [2] were separate series,
but as the bulk of the librification has now been queued [3] and the remianing
work is mostly tirivial.
The first six patches apply atop of Will's perf/updates branch [3]. The final
patch must be applied atop of Liviu's for-upstream/juno-dts branch due to some
recent rework of the Juno dts files.
With this series applied, perf can be used to monitor 64-bit systems with
heterogeneous PMUs in an identical fashion to 32-bit systems, e.g.
$ perf stat -e armv8_cortex_a53/config=0x11/ -e armv8_cortex_a57/config=0x11/ ./a.out
Performance counter stats for './a.out':
185250238 armv8_cortex_a53/config=0x11/ [55.34%]
225006550 armv8_cortex_a57/config=0x11/ [43.96%]
0.213953840 seconds time elapsed
$ perf stat -e cycles ./a.out
Performance counter stats for './a.out':
830917902 cycles [64.60%]
1.023141420 seconds time elapsed
Thanks,
Mark.
