Although BRBE is an armv8 speciifc HW feature, abstracting out its various function callbacks at the struct arm_pmu level is preferred, as it cleaner , easier to follow and maintain. Besides some helpers i.e brbe_supported(), brbe_probe() and brbe_reset() might not fit seamlessly, when tried to be embedded via existing arm_pmu helpers in the armv8 implementation. Updates the struct arm_pmu to include all required helpers that will drive BRBE functionality for a given PMU implementation. These are the following. - brbe_filter : Convert perf event filters into BRBE HW filters - brbe_probe : Probe BRBE HW and capture its attributes - brbe_enable : Enable BRBE HW with a given config - brbe_disable : Disable BRBE HW - brbe_read : Read BRBE buffer for captured branch records - brbe_reset : Reset BRBE buffer - brbe_supported: Whether BRBE is supported or not A BRBE driver implementation needs to provide these functionalities.
