This patch set is to support synthetic events with enabling Arm
SPE
quoted
quoted
quoted
quoted
decoder.  Since before Xiaojun Tan (Hisilicon) and James Clark
(Arm)
quoted
quoted
quoted

have contributed much for this task, so this patch set is based
on their
quoted
quoted
quoted
quoted
privous work and polish for the version 7.

The main work in this version is to polished the core patch
"perf
quoted
quoted
quoted
quoted
arm-spe: Support synthetic events", e.g. rewrite the code to
calculate
quoted
quoted
quoted
quoted
ip, packet generation for multiple types (L1 data cache, Last
level
quoted
quoted
quoted
quoted
cache, TLB, remote access, etc).  It also heavily refactors
code for
quoted
quoted
quoted
quoted
data structure and program flow, which removed unused fields in
structure and polished the program flow to achieve neat code as
possible.

This patch set has been checked with checkpatch.pl, though it
leaves
quoted
quoted
quoted
quoted
several warnings, but these warnings are delibarately kept
after
quoted
quoted
quoted
quoted
reviewing.  Some warnings ask to add maintainer (so far it's
not
quoted
quoted
quoted
quoted
necessary), and some warnings complaint for patch 02 "perf
auxtrace:
quoted
quoted
quoted
quoted
Add four itrace options" for the text format, since need to
keep the
quoted
quoted
quoted
quoted
consistency with the same code format in the source code, this
is why
quoted
quoted
quoted

this patch doesn't get rid of checkpatch warnings.
Gentle ping ...

It would be appreciate if can get some review for this patch set.
I was hoping that James Clark would have a look, since he was the
last
quoted
quoted
person to go near the userspace side of SPE.
Yes, I have offline synced with James and James has verified this
patch set at his side.

I don't want to rush to ask Arnaldo to merge patches, so just
want to get wider reviewing if possible; otherwise, I will rebase
this
quoted
patch set and resend to ML.
One thing that might be useful is if James could offer his Tested-by or
Acked-by on the public mailing list. Neither Arnaldo nor I have details
about your offline sync!
That always help, indeed :-)
