Subject: [PATCH V6 0/8] perf: Expand perf_branch_entry
Date: Fri, 10 Jun 2022 09:20:53 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220610035101.424112-1-anshuman.khandual@arm.com> (raw)
Branch Record Buffer Extension (BRBE) implementation on arm64 captures more
branch type classification which cannot be accommodated in the current perf
branch record format via perf_branch_entry.type element (4 bit field). Also
it captures privilege information which does not have a corresponding slot
in perf_branch_entry. This series expands struct perf_branch_entry, to meet
both these requirements without breaking the existing user space ABI for
perf tools.
All architecture specific branch types added via perf_branch_entry.new_type
field in [PATCH 3/4] will be used in BRBE implementation on arm64 platform
later on with the following map.
#ifdef CONFIG_ARM64
#define PERF_BR_FIQ PERF_BR_NEW_ARCH_1
#define PERF_BR_DEBUG_HALT PERF_BR_NEW_ARCH_2
#define PERF_BR_DEBUG_EXIT PERF_BR_NEW_ARCH_3
#define PERF_BR_DEBUG_INST PERF_BR_NEW_ARCH_4
#define PERF_BR_DEBUG_DATA PERF_BR_NEW_ARCH_5
#endif
This series applies on v5.19-rc1
perf API
The series being applied
- Clean : tools/perf/check-headers.sh
- Clean : diff -u tools/include/uapi/linux/perf_event.h include/uapi/linux/perf_event.h
