Subject: [PATCH v3 0/5] Add support for the ARMv8.2 Statistical Profiling Extension

Hi all,

This is the fifth posting of the patches previously posted here:

  rfcv1: http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2017-January/476450.html
  rfcv2: http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2017-January/479387.html
     v1: http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2017-January/483684.html
     v2: http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2017-April/499938.html

Changes since v2 include:

  * Rebased onto v4.12-rc1, which includes some rework to AUX flag
    handling
  * Removed VHE-dependent exclude_hv support in light of recent change
    to CPU PMU code [1]

The architecture documentation is available here:

  https://developer.arm.com/products/architecture/a-profile/docs/ddi0586/latest/arm-architecture-reference-manual-supplement-statistical-profiling-extension-for-armv8-a

and there's a high-level overview on this official ARM blog:

  https://community.arm.com/processors/b/blog/posts/statistical-profiling-extension-for-armv8-a

All comments welcome,

Will
