[PATCH v5 RESEND] perf: Support for Arm A32/T32 instruction sets in CoreSight trace

From: Robert Walker
Date: Mon Dec 03 2018 - 07:19:25 EST


This patch adds support for generating instruction samples from trace of
AArch32 programs using the A32 and T32 instruction sets.

T32 has variable 2 or 4 byte instruction size, so the conversion between
addresses and instruction counts requires extra information from the trace
decoder, requiring version 0.10.0 of OpenCSD. A check for the OpenCSD
library version has been added to the feature check for OpenCSD.

Hi Arnaldo,

Please add this patch to the queue for 4.21 (originally sent as https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/11/9/965)

Mathieu has reviewed it: https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/11/9/1432

Thanks

Robert Walker
