Hi, Please find in this series two small patches adding debugging facilities related to instruction counting. My ultimate goal is to provide accurate instruction counts to target software through the Performance Monitors Unit (PMU) and enable the collection of Basic Block Vectors (BBVs). These patches are intended to facilitate future work towards that. Please let me know if you think there are better ways to accomplish these goals.
My only reason for hiding the instruction count exit notifier behind -icount shift=n is that I figure the kind of person who is interested in such a metric is the kind of person who would want to run with -icount shift=n set. Perhaps there's a statistics or verbose option that would be more appropriate to key off of. Additionally printing MIPS would be even neater, but I leave that for later.
