[PATCH v5 0/8] perf cs_etm: Basic support for virtual/kernel timestamps

[Tanmay Jagdale]

Hi James,

> Changes since v4:
> 
>   * Rebase onto perf/core
>   * Convert new perf_pmu__cpu_slots_per_cycle() function to use
>     new helper functions
> 
> ===========================
> Changes since v3:
> 
>   * Scale time estimates by INSTR_PER_NS, rather than assuming 1
>     instruction = 1ns
>   * Add a new commit that fixes some issues around timestamps going
>     backwards
>   * Use nanoseconds inside cs-etm-decoder.c, rather than storing the
>     raw time values and converting when a sample is synthesized. This
>     simplifies some of the code like estimating the first timestamp.
> 
> ===========================
> Changes since v2:
> 
>   * Remove const to non-const change and copy strings where needed
>     instead.
>   * Use sizeof() instead of PATH_MAX
>   * Append "will not be set accurately." to new error message
>   * Remove unneeded stat() call
>   * Rebase on perf/core
> 
> ==========================
> 
> Changes since v1:
> 
>   * Add 3 refactor commits for sysfs reading around pmu.c as suggested
>     by Arnaldo here [1]
>   * The dependency on [2] has now reached mainline so is no longer
>     blocking
>   * Rebase on perf/core

> German Gomez (4):
>   perf pmu: Add function to check if a pmu file exists
>   perf cs_etm: Keep separate symbols for ETMv4 and ETE parameters
>   perf cs_etm: Record ts_source in AUXTRACE_INFO for ETMv4 and ETE
>   perf cs_etm: Set the time field in the synthetic samples
> 
> James Clark (4):
>   perf: Remove duplication around EVENT_SOURCE_DEVICE_PATH
>   perf: Use perf_pmu__open_file() and perf_pmu__scan_file()
>   perf: Remove remaining duplication of bus/event_source/devices/...
>   perf: cs-etm: Ensure that Coresight timestamps don't go backwards
