Subject: perf: Some improvements for Skylake perf
Date: Thu, 15 Oct 2015 16:37:56 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1444952280-24184-1-git-send-email-andi@firstfloor.org> (raw)

This patchkit improves the Skylake core PMU perf port

- Fix problems with LBR freezing with a new APIC ack sequence
- Improve performance and accuracy of the NMI handler with counter freezing
- Improve sampling quality with cycles:pp

The last feature could be used on other CPUs too, but for now it's only
enabled on Skylake.

-Andi
