[PATCH 1/3] ARM: perf: add support for perf registers API

From: Jean Pihet
Date: Mon Sep 09 2013 - 06:00:51 EST


From: Will Deacon <will.deacon@xxxxxxx>

This patch implements the functions required for the perf registers API,
allowing the perf tool to interface kernel register dumps with libunwind
in order to provide userspace backtracing.
