Subject: [PATCH V3 1/5] powerpc, perf: Add new BHRB related instructions for POWER8
Date: Thu, 18 Apr 2013 17:56:12 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1366287976-3900-2-git-send-email-khandual@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1366287976-3900-1-git-send-email-khandual@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

This patch adds new POWER8 instruction encoding for reading
the BHRB buffer entries and also clearing it. Encoding for
"clrbhrb" instruction is straight forward. But "mfbhrbe"
encoding involves reading a certain index of BHRB buffer
into a particular GPR register.
