Hi Jeremy,

Apologies for the late reply on this.

Have you tested trying to stat on a particular PMU? e.g.

$ perf stat -e armv8_cortex_a53/cpu_cycles/ ls

I found that the presence of a cpumask file would cause (at least some
versions) of perf-stat to hang, and was holding off adding a cpumask
until we had a solution to that.

See [1,2] for more details on that.

This should be generic across the arm-pmu code, and so should live under
drivers/perf/.

Thanks,
Mark.
