Subject: [git-pull -tip] x86: cpu_debug support read-write opertaions for
 PMC

Currently I added read-write operations for PMC MSRs for cpu_debug:

[root@ht]# cat /sys/kernel/debug/x86/cpu/cpu1/pmc/0x300/value
0x0

[root@ht]# cat /sys/kernel/debug/x86/cpu/cpu1/pmc/0x300/value
0x0

[root@ht]# echo 1234 > /sys/kernel/debug/x86/cpu/cpu1/pmc/0x300/value
[root@ht]# cat /sys/kernel/debug/x86/cpu/cpu1/pmc/0x300/value
0x4d2

[root@ht]# echo 0x1234 > /sys/kernel/debug/x86/cpu/cpu1/pmc/0x300/value
[root@ht]# cat /sys/kernel/debug/x86/cpu/cpu1/pmc/0x300/value
0x1234

Should I also add write operations for other registers.

The following changes since commit 8851485ba842e892adfa343463ce6b74550bb8b1:
