2010-08-09 | alpha: implement HW performance events on the EV67 and later CPUs | Michael Cree | 1 | -1/+7 | |
This implements hardware performance events for the EV67 and later CPUs within the Linux performance events subsystem. Only using the performance monitoring unit in HP/Compaq's so called "Aggregrate mode" is supported. The code has been implemented in a manner that makes extension to other older Alpha CPUs relatively straightforward should some mug wish to indulge themselves.

2009-12-18 | alpha: Add minimal support for software performance events | Michael Cree | 1 | -0/+9 | |
In the kernel the patch enables configuration of the perf event option, adds the perf_event_open syscall, and includes a minimal architecture specific asm/perf_event.h header file.
