perf vendor events: Add support for pmu events vendor subdirectory
For some architectures (like arm), it is required to support a vendor subdirectory and not locate all the JSONs for a specific vendor in the same folder. This is because all the events for the same vendor will be placed in the same pmu events table, which may cause conflict. This conflict would be in the instance that a vendor's custom implemented events do have the same meaning on different platforms, so events in the pmu table would conflict. In addition, per list command may show events which are not even supported for a given platform. This patch adds support for a arch/vendor/platform directory hierarchy, while maintaining backwards-compatibility for existing arch/platform structure. In this, each platform would always have its own pmu events table. In generated file pmu_events.c, each platform table name is in the format pme{_vendor}_platform, like this: struct pmu_events_map pmu_events_map[] = { { .cpuid = "0x00000000420f5160", .version = "v1", .type = "core", .table = pme_cavium_thunderx2 }, { .cpuid = 0, .version = 0, .type = 0, .table = 0, }, }; Signed-off-by: NJohn Garry <john.garry@huawei.com> Acked-by: NJiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Tested-by: NSukadev Bhattiprolu <sukadev@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Alexander Shishkin <alexander.shishkin@linux.intel.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Cc: Ganapatrao Kulkarni <ganapatrao.kulkarni@cavium.com> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Shaokun Zhang <zhangshaokun@hisilicon.com> Cc: Sukadev Bhattiprolu <sukadev@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com> Cc: William Cohen <wcohen@redhat.com> Cc: linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org Cc: linuxarm@huawei.com Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1520506716-197429-5-git-send-email-john.garry@huawei.com Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1521047452-28565-1-git-send-email-john.garry@huawei.com [ Add missing limits.h include, fixing the build on at least all Alpine Linux versions tested (3.4 to 3.7 + edge), ] [ Applied a patch to fix reading ./.. directories in XFS, see second Link tag ] Signed-off-by: NArnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
