Subject: [PATCH V2 0/3] perf tools: coresight PMU recording capabilities 

Good day Arnaldo,

This is the first set of patches aimed at supporting trace acquisition and
decoding using the ARM CoreSight drivers. The library is now out and accessible
by anyone[1] - branch "opencsd-0v002" is stable and the one we advise to use.

Part of that branch is a "HOWTO.md" that describes how to perform on-target
trace acquisition, along with how to setup the library and perf tools for off
system trace decoding.

The patches in this set can also be found on gitHub[1], branch
"perf-opencsd-4.7-rc1".  Available there are many more patches that will be
submitted for review incrementally.

This second revision has been rebased on the perf core branch[2], mandating the
addition of patch 1/3.

To conclude here are a couple of pastebins for you to look at if you don't want
to go through the whole process of setting up the solution:

$ perf report --stdio -D [3]
$ perf report --stdio [4]

And a snippet of the output from the "cs-etm-disasem.py" script, also included
on branch "perf-opencsd-4.7-rc1":

Changes for V2:
- Rebased on perf tree tip.
- Fixed file list in MAINTAINERS's file.
- Added Adrian Hunter's Acked-by.
- Reworked ifndef/endif in config/Makefile to avoid duplication.
- Patch 1/3, mandatory to make things compile.
