[PATCH v2 5/9] libperf: Add support for user space counter access
Rob Herring

Fri Aug 28 16:56:10 EDT 2020
x86 and arm64 can both support direct access of event counters in
userspace. The access sequence is less than trivial and currently exists
in perf test code (tools/perf/arch/x86/tests/rdpmc.c) with copies in
projects such as PAPI and libpfm4.
In order to support usersapce access, an event must be mmapped. While
there's already mmap support for evlist, the usecase is a bit different
than the self monitoring with userspace access. So let's add a new
perf_evsel__mmap() function to mmap an evsel. This allows implementing
userspace access as a fastpath for perf_evsel__read().
The mmapped address is returned by perf_evsel__mmap() primarily for
users/tests to check if userspace access is enabled.
