Subject: [kvm-unit-tests PATCH v8 3/3] arm: pmu: Add CPI checking
Date: Tue,  8 Nov 2016 12:17:15 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1478629035-12938-4-git-send-email-wei@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1478629035-12938-1-git-send-email-wei@redhat.com>

From: Christopher Covington <cov@codeaurora.org>

Calculate the numbers of cycles per instruction (CPI) implied by ARM
PMU cycle counter values. The code includes a strict checking facility
intended for the -icount option in TCG mode in the configuration file.
