Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/perf: Implement get_cpu_str()
Date: Tue, 5 Aug 2014 17:17:55 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140806001754.GA28735@us.ibm.com> (raw)

powerpc/perf: Implement get_cpu_str()

With a file like ~/.cache/pmu-events/004d0100-core.json describing
Power8 PMU events, we would need to run:

	perf stat \
		--events-file ~/.cache/pmu-events/004d0100-core.json \
		-e PM_CYC sleep 1

With this get_cpu_str(), on Powerpc, we can skip the --events-file option
and run:

	perf stat -e PM_CYC sleep 1
