[PATCH v4 1/6] perf: Introduce ioctl to communicate driver configuration to kernel

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Adding a new IOCTL command to communicate PMU specific configuration to
PMU kernel drivers.  This can be anything a PMU might need for
configuration that doesn't fit in the perf_event_attr structure, such
as the CoreSight sink to use for a session.
