SubjectRe: [RFC 1/4] perf kvm: Enable 'record' on powerpc
From
Date
Hi Arnaldo,

I've worked on your patch. I'm sending this patch(diff) to check if this
is the same idea you want to progress with. I cleanup your patch,
removed arch specific compile time directives and changed code to
enable cross arch reporting. I tested record on powerpc and report
on x86 and it's working.

Please give suggestion about your approach. Let me know if you have
some other idea to progress with.

Here is the diff w.r.t perf/cpumode branch:
