[PATCH 0/3] Improved perf support for imx53/ppd

From: Sebastian Reichel
Date: Thu Jan 18 2018 - 12:44:35 EST


Hi,

This improves perf on imx53 by adding support for enabling the Secure
Debug Enable Register (SDER) SUNIDEN bit. This unlocks new
functionality:

ppd before patchset# perf stat -e cycles,instructions sleep 1 2>&1 | grep instructions
0 instructions # 0.00 insn per cycle

ppd after patchset# perf stat -e cycles,instructions sleep 1 2>&1 | grep instructions
177864 instructions # 0.05 insn per cycle
