Subject[PATCH v5 0/7] Add support for the ARMv8.2 Statistical Profiling Extension
Date
Hi all,

This is the seventh posting of the patches previously posted here:

rfcv1: http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2017-January/476450.html
rfcv2: http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2017-January/479387.html
v1: http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2017-January/483684.html
v2: http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2017-April/499938.html
v3: http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2017-May/507132.html
v4: http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2017-June/510799.html

There have been many changes since v4, mainly thanks to useful review
comments from Mark Rutland:

* Require CAP_SYS_ADMIN for sampling physical addresses, the physical
counter and context information (ASID/VMID)
* Handle AUX buffer allocations when cpu == -1
* Fix PERF_IDX2OFF for non-power-of-2 pages buffer sizes
* Use %016llx when printing PMBSR
* Fix masking of PMSIRR_EL1.INTERVAL
* Don't reject events based on sample period (for consistency with
PERF_EVENT_IOC_PERIOD)
* Consolidate isb() usage
* Add of_device_id table sentinel to avoid overrunning ID table
* Complete rewrite of __arm_spe_pmu_next_off, based on wakeup changes in core
* Rename cnt_width to counter_sz
* Ensure PMBPTR is aligned to record size when profiling is active
* Complete rewrite of exception handling
* Move register definitions into asm/sysreg.h
* Now tested on FPGA (as opposed to just on the FastModel)!

The architecture documentation is available here:

and there's a high-level overview on this official ARM blog:

All comments welcome,
