I know there is some ongoing work by Stephane in this code too, but I want to submit the patches anyway for review. If necessary I will rebase the patch set on top of Stephanes patches. Anyway, this patch set applies to tip/perf/core and can be pulled from here too:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rric/oprofile.git perf
The patches contain changes, updates and code reworks I made during reviewing the code and implementing IBS for perf_events. Patches for IBS I will submit in a later series. These patches will include an implementation that extends the ABI to support model specific hardware pmu features.
In this patch set I made some model specific pmu code generic and vice versa. The event constraint handler works now for AMD pmu too. Fixed counter code that is only need on Intel cpus is now model specific. Also the MSR masks were unified, where the hardware implementation is the same for all cpus.
