[RFC 02/11] perf/core: Data structure to present hazard data

From: Ravi Bangoria
Date: Mon Mar 02 2020 - 00:24:50 EST


From: Madhavan Srinivasan <maddy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Introduce new perf sample_type PERF_SAMPLE_PIPELINE_HAZ to request kernel
to provide cpu pipeline hazard data. Also, introduce arch independent
structure 'perf_pipeline_haz_data' to pass hazard data to userspace. This
is generic structure and arch specific data needs to be converted to this
format.
