Subject[PATCH v2 0/8] drivers/perf: CPU PMU driver for Apple M1
Date
The M1 SoC embeds a per-CPU PMU that has a very different programming
interface compared to the architected PMUv3 that is normally present
on standard implementations.

This small series adds a driver for this HW by leveraging the arm_pmu
infrastructure, resulting in a rather simple driver.

Of course, we know next to nothing about the actual events this PMU
counts, aside from CPU cycles and instructions. Everything else is
undocumented (though as Dougall pointed out, someone could extract the
relevant information from a macOS install if they wanted -- I don't).

My hope is that this driver will help people to explore the event
space and propose possible interpretations for these events using
reproducible test cases.

* From v1 [1]:
- Added a few comments clarifying the event mapping to counters
- Spelling fixes
- Collected Acks from Rob
