[PATCH 0/6] arm64: perf: heterogeneous PMU support

[Mark Rutland]

This patch series reworks the arm64 perf code, migrating it to the
shared PMU library and implementing CPU-specific PMU bindings. In doing
so the arm64 perf backend gains support for heterogeneous PMUs.

This series is based on both "ARM: perf: heterogeneous PMU support" [1], and
"ARM: perf: rework core into library" [2], applied sequentially.

The features and limitations laid out in [1] also apply to the arm64
implementation, as demonstrated by sample runs on Juno with the series applied:

$ 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%]

$ perf stat -e cycles ./a.out 

 Performance counter stats for './a.out':

Thanks,
