Here is a series of patches from Anton Blanchard that implement some nice tracing and perf_event features on powerpc. One of them is generic perf_event stuff (adding software events for alignment faults and instruction emulation faults).
Since this touches the perf_event and tracing subsystems as well as the powerpc architecture code, I think the best way forward is for both Ingo and Ben to pull it into their trees. I have based it on the most recent point in Linus' tree that Ingo had pulled into his perf branches (as of yesterday or so). Thanks, Paul.
