Subject: [PATCH v4 0/6] perf: Add ioctl for PMU driver configuration 

This is the fourth iteration of a set that adds the capability to communicate
event specific configuration to PMU kernel drivers using an ioctl().  Though
targeted at the identification of CoreSight sinks when operating in CPU-wide
trace scenarios the functionality is made generic enough for anyone to use.

The work fits in a wider scheme to support CPU-wide trace scenarios on CoreSight
that is available here[1].  If someone is to test the functionality using this 
branch, note that only dumping of CPU-wide trace data is working.  Full decoding
capability is being verified.

Patch 1 to 3 deal with kernel enhancement to the perf core while patch 4 is
CoreSight specific.  Patches 5 and 6 concentrate on the perf tools.

# Before this set: 

root@...o:/home/linaro# perf record -e cs_etm/@...70000.etr/ -C 2,3 sleep 1
failed to mmap with 12 (Cannot allocate memory)

# After this set:

root@...o:/home/linaro# perf record -e cs_etm/@...70000.etr/ -C 2,3 sleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 4.145 MB perf.data ]


Thanks,
Mathieu

Changes for V4:
. Made passing of information between ioctl() and PMU simpler.
. Rebased to 4.20-rc4


Mathieu Poirier (6):
  perf: Introduce ioctl to communicate driver configuration to kernel
  perf/core: Use ioctl to communicate driver configuration to kernel
  perf/aux: Make perf_event accessible to setup_aux()
  coresight: Use PMU driver configuration for sink selection
  perf tools: Make perf_evsel accessible to PMU driver configuration
    code
  perf tools: Use ioctl function to send sink configuration to kernel
