[PATCH 0/3] perf: arm_spe: Add support for SPE VM interface

[James Clark]

SPE can be used from within a guest as long as the driver adheres to the
new VM interface spec [1]. Because the driver should behave correctly
whether it's running in a guest or not, the first patches are marked as
a fix. Furthermore, in future versions of the architecture the PE will
be allowed to behave in the same way.

The last patch adds new behavior to make it easier for guests to be
able to reserve large buffers. It's not strictly necessary, so it's not
marked as a fix.
