From 6f6539cad926f55d5eb6e79d05bbe99f0d54d56d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Maria Dimakopoulou Date: Mon, 17 Nov 2014 20:06:57 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] perf/x86/intel: Add cross-HT counter exclusion infrastructure This patch adds a new shared_regs style structure to the per-cpu x86 state (cpuc). It is used to coordinate access between counters which must be used with exclusion across HyperThreads on Intel processors. This new struct is not needed on each PMU, thus is is allocated on demand.
