[PATCH V4 1/6] perf/core: Adding PMU driver specific configuration

Mathieu Poirier mathieu.poirier at linaro.org
Thu Aug 4 09:53:19 PDT 2016


This patch somewhat mimics the work done on address filters to
add the infrastructure needed to pass PMU specific HW
configuration to the driver before a session starts.
