[RFC PATCH 02/15] ARM: perf: only register a CPU PMU when present

From: mark.rutland@arm.com (Mark Rutland)
Date: 2011-08-15 13:55:03
Subsystem: arm pmu profiling and debugging, arm port, performance events subsystem, the rest · Maintainers: Will Deacon, Mark Rutland, Russell King, Peter Zijlstra, Ingo Molnar, Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo, Namhyung Kim, Linus Torvalds

Currently, an "empty" struct pmu is registered as the CPU PMU,
regardless of whether there is a physical PMU. This burdens the
accessor functions with checks to see whether a PMU is actually
present.

This patch changes initialisation to register a PMU only if there is a
supported PMU present, and removes the checks that this change makes
redundant.
