Subject: [PATCH 0/2] perf_counter: add tracepoint support
hi,
The following two patches build on Peter's initial tracepoint perf counter work.
The first patches enables the kernel side, and the second patch adds support to
the 'perf' tool itself. The debugfs filesystem needs to be mounted to make this
work and it is searched in the default location '/sys/kernel/debug'. We can
add an optional parameter to search for it elsewhere if need be.
Below, I show the output of 'perf list', and 'perf stat' for a tbench run.
thanks,
-Jason
