From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Avi Kivity Subject: [PATCH 0/3] Preparatory perf patches for KVM PMU support Date: Wed, 29 Jun 2011 18:42:34 +0300 Message-ID: <1309362157-6596-1-git-send-email-avi@redhat.com> Cc: kvm@vger.kernel.org, Ingo Molnar , a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl, acme@ghostprotocols.net, Frederic Weisbecker To: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Return-path: Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org List-Id: kvm.vger.kernel.org The following three patches pave the way for KVM in-guest performance monitoring. One is a perf API improvement, another fixes the constraints for the version 1 architectural PMU (which we will emulate), and the third adds an export that KVM will use. Please consider for merging; this will make further work on the KVM PMU easier.
