'perf record' and 'perf report --dump-raw-trace' supported in this
release.

Example usage:

$ ./perf record -e arm_spe_0/ts_enable=1,pa_enable=1/ \
		dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null count=10000

perf report --dump-raw-trace

Note that the perf.data file is portable, so the report can be run on
another architecture host if necessary.

Output will contain raw SPE data and its textual representation, such
as:

0x550 [0x30]: PERF_RECORD_AUXTRACE size: 0xc408  offset: 0  ref: 0x30005619  idx: 3  tid: 2109  cpu: 3

Other release notes:

- applies to acme's perf/{core,urgent} branches, likely elsewhere

- Report is self-contained within the tool.  Record requires enabling
  the kernel SPE driver by setting CONFIG_ARM_SPE_PMU.

- the intel-bts implementation was used as a starting point; its
  min/default/max buffer sizes and power of 2 pages granularity need to be
  revisited for ARM SPE

- recording across multiple SPE clusters/domains not supported

- snapshot support (record -S), and conversion to native perf events
  (e.g., via 'perf inject --itrace'), are also not supported

- technically both cs-etm and spe can be used simultaneously, however
  disabled for simplicity in this release

v4: rebased onto acme's perf/core, whitespace fixes.

v3: trying to address comments from v2:

- despite adding a find_all_arm_spe_pmus() function to scan for all
  arm_spe_<n> device instances, in order to ensure auxtrace_record__init
  successfully matches the evsel type with the correct arm_spe_pmu type,
  I am still having trouble running in multi-SPE PPI (heterogeneous)
  environments (mmap fails with EOPNOTSUPP, as does running with
  --per-thread on homogeneous systems).

- arm_spe_reference: use gettime instead of direct cntvct register access

- spe-decoder: add a comment for why SPE_EVENTS code sets packet->index.

- added arm_spe_pmu_default_config that accesses the driver
  caps/min_interval and sets the default sampling period to it.  This way
  users don't have to specify -c explicitly.  Also set is_uncore to false.

- set more sampling bits in the arm_spe and its tracking evsel.  Still
  unsure if too liberal, and not sure whether it needs another context
  switch tracking evsel.  Comments welcome!

- https://www.spinics.net/lists/arm-kernel/msg614361.html

v2: mostly addressing Mark Rutland's comments as much as possible without his
feedback to my feedback:

- decoder refactored with a get_payload, not extended to with-ext_len ones like
  get_addr,  named the constants

- 0x-ified %x output formats, but decided to not sign extend the addresses in
  the raw dump, rather do so if necessary in the synthesis stage:
  SPE implementations differ in this area, and raw dump should reflect that.

- CPU mask / new record behaviour bisected to commit e3ba76deef23064 "perf
  tools: Force uncore events to system wide monitoring".  Waiting to hear back
  on why driver can't do system wide monitoring, even across PPIs, by e.g.,
  sharing the SPE interrupts in one handler (SPE's don't differ in this record
  regard).

- addressed off-list comment from M. Williams:
  "Instruction Type" packet was renamed as "Operation Type".
   so in the spe packet decoder: INSN_TYPE -> OP_TYPE

- do_get_packet fixed to handle excessive, successive PADding from a new source
  of raw SPE data, so instead of:

	.  000011ae:  00                                              PAD
	.  000011af:  00                                              PAD
	.  000011b0:  00                                              PAD
	.  000011b1:  00                                              PAD
	.  000011b2:  00                                              PAD
	.  000011b3:  00                                              PAD
	.  000011b4:  00                                              PAD
	.  000011b5:  00                                              PAD
	.  000011b6:  00                                              PAD

  we now get:

	.  000011ae:  00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00                      PAD

- fixed 52 00 00 decoded with an empty events clause, adding 'EV' for all events
  clauses now.  parser writers can detect for empty event clauses by finding
  nothing after it.

Hi Arnaldo,

Just got off the phone with Mark, who said he's at least a couple of
weeks away from reviewing this.

The SPE kernel-side PMU driver is already in Linus' tree, destined to
be in the 4.15 release (commit d5d9696b0380 "drivers/perf: Add support
for ARMv8.2 Statistical Profiling Extension").

How are things supposed to work for the userspace side to be in sync,
given the incumbent reviewer lag?

Kim

More conventional kernel style would be:

	} else if (strstarts(pmu->name, ARM_SPE_PMU_NAME)) {
		return arm_spe_pmu_default_config(pmu);
	}

Also it looks like arm_spe_pmu_default_config() is only compiled for arm64
so what happens if you build for arm.
