Hi, I'm reposting the whole series just in case my previous attempt to repost only the broken patch was confusing. Patches are based on 4.5-rc2.
Patches 1-3 add support for ThunderX specific PMU events. Patch 4 changes the cycle counter to overflow on 64 bit but tries to minimize code changes. Without this change perf does not work at all on ThunderX. Patch 5 extends the event mask according to ARMv8.1 and also affects arm32. Changes to v2: - fixed arm compile errors Changes to v1: - renamed thunderx dt pmu binding to thunder --Jan Jan Glauber (5): arm64/perf: Rename Cortex A57 events arm64/perf: Add Cavium ThunderX PMU support arm64: dts: Add Cavium ThunderX specific PMU arm64/perf: Enable PMCR long cycle counter bit arm64/perf: Extend event mask for ARMv8.1 Documentation/devicetree/bindings/arm/pmu.txt | 1 + arch/arm/kernel/perf_event_v6.c | 6 +- arch/arm/kernel/perf_event_v7.c | 29 ++++-- arch/arm/kernel/perf_event_xscale.c | 4 +- arch/arm64/boot/dts/cavium/thunder-88xx.dtsi | 5 + arch/arm64/kernel/perf_event.c | 145 ++++++++++++++++++++------ drivers/perf/arm_pmu.c | 5 +- include/linux/perf/arm_pmu.h | 4 +- 8 files changed, 151 insertions(+), 48 deletions(-) -- 1.9.1
