Subject: [PATCH v2 00/11] perf: Intel Cache QoS Monitoring support

From: Matt Fleming <matt.fleming@...el.com>

This patch series adds a new PMU driver for the Intel Cache Monitoring
hardware feature available in Intel Xeon processors, which allows
monitoring of LLC occupancy on a task, group or system-wide basis.

The first few patches modify tools/perf to handle per-package counters,
which necessitates discarding some values when doing per-cpu reads to
avoid getting duplicate data. The rest add support for the new PMU code.

I've left a notoriously funky bit of code as the last patch, the RMID
rotation code, in an attempt to simplify things. Doing the rotation
provides the ability to multiplex the RMIDs and basically overcome the
hardware limitation, but the rest of the patches work fine without it.
But there are a number of scenarios where being able to monitor more
tasks than RMIDs is extremely useful.

The series is based on tip/perf/core.

Changes in v2:

 - Added Jiri Olsa's Acked-by to PATCH 02/11.

 - Use x86_match_cpu() in intel_cqm_init() and make sure we grab the
   hotplug lock to prevent races as pointed out by Andi Kleen in
   PATCH 08/11.

 - Delete a stale comment in commit message of PATCH 10/11.
