This set adds the capability to communiate event specific configuration to the PMU kernel driver using an ioctl(). The functionatlity is made generic enough for anyone to use but is targeted at the identification of CoreSight sinks when operating in CPU-wide trace scenarios.
Other than the changes highlighted below I have moved things around, deciding to start with the kernel portion rather than user space - hopefully this will be easier to review. Applies cleanly on v4.18-rc3. Thanks, Mathieu --- Changes for V2: . Fixed s390 problem reported by buildbot. . Removed uneeded check in perf_event_process_drv_config() (Jiri) . Reordered data copy in perf_event_set_drv_config() (Jiri) . Went from 2 to 1 step driver configuration process (Alex) . Moved structure name "perf_drv_config" to "pmu_drv_config".
