[PATCH v5 2/2] arm: perf: Add event descriptions

Drew Richardson drew.richardson at arm.com
Tue Oct 13 08:36:45 PDT 2015


Add additional information about the ARM architected hardware events
to make counters self describing. This makes the hardware PMUs easier
to use as perf list contains possible events instead of users having
to refer to documentation like the ARM TRMs.
