| Series | [v2] arm64: Allow CONFIG_AUTOFDO_CLANG to be selected | expand |
This patch looks good to me. I assume the profile format change in the Android doc will be submitted soon. Since "extbinary" is a superset of "binary", using the "extbinary" format profile in Android shouldn't cause any compatibility issues.

Select ARCH_SUPPORTS_AUTOFDO_CLANG to allow AUTOFDO_CLANG to be selected. On ARM64, ETM traces can be recorded and converted to AutoFDO profiles. Experiments on Android show 4% improvement in cold app startup time and 13% improvement in binder benchmarks. Signed-off-by: Yabin Cui <yabinc@google.com> --- Change-Logs in V2: 1.
