[PATCH 0/7]: Enable 'perf mem' command for Power
'perf mem' command enables analyzing the memory operations of an application. It needs the kernel to export the memory hierarcy level from which a load instruction was satisfied.
It also needs the Power kernel to make the 'mem-loads' and 'mem-stores' generic events available in sysfs. While there, we also export the other Power8 generic events in sysfs.
Thanks to input from Stephane Eranian and Michael Ellerman.
P.S. The patchset builds on several configurations including pmac32_defconfig. But I am unable to verify the build on few other configs due to a problem unrleated to this patchset. That is being discussed in a separate thread. I would like some feedback on this patchset in the meanwhile.
