[V4 0/2] tools/perf: Add instruction and data address registers to extended regs in powerpc
From: Athira Rajeev <hidden>
Date: 2021-10-18 11:50:52
Patch set adds PMU registers namely Sampled Instruction Address Register
(SIAR) and Sampled Data Address Register (SDAR) as part of extended regs
in PowerPC. These registers provides the instruction/data address and
adding these to extended regs helps in debug purposes.
Patch 1/2 refactors the existing macro definition of
PERF_REG_PMU_MASK_300 and PERF_REG_PMU_MASK_31 to make it more
readable.
Patch 2/2 includes perf tools side changes to add the SPRs to
sample_reg_mask to use with -I? option.
Changelog:
Change from v3 -> v4:
- Spilt tools side patches separately since kernel side
changes are in powerpc/next. There is no code wise changes
from v3.

Kernel patches are taken to powerpc/next:
[1/4] powerpc/perf: Refactor the code definition of perf reg extended mask
https://git.kernel.org/powerpc/c/02b182e67482d9167a13a0ff19b55037b70b21ad
[3/4] powerpc/perf: Expose instruction and data address registers as part of extended regs
https://git.kernel.org/powerpc/c/29908bbf7b8960d261dfdd428bbaa656275e80f3
Change from v2 -> v3:
Addressed review comments from Michael Ellerman
- Fixed the macro definition to use "unsigned long long"
which otherwise will cause build error with perf on
32-bit.
- Added Reviewed-by from Daniel Axtens for patch3.
Change from v1 -> v2:
Addressed review comments from Michael Ellerman
- Refactored the perf reg extended mask value macros for
PERF_REG_PMU_MASK_300 and PERF_REG_PMU_MASK_31 to
make it more readable. Also moved PERF_REG_EXTENDED_MAX
along with enum definition similar to PERF_REG_POWERPC_MAX.

tools/perf: Refactor the code definition of perf reg extended mask in
tools side header file
tools/perf: Add perf tools support to expose instruction and data
address registers as part of extended regs
