Subject: [PATCH v3 05/12] perf evsel: Add a helper to get the value of a config field
Date: Fri, 12 Dec 2025 17:32:22 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251212-james-perf-config-bits-v3-5-aa36a4846776@linaro.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251212-james-perf-config-bits-v3-0-aa36a4846776@linaro.org>
This will be used by aux PMUs to read an already written value for
configuring their events and for also testing.
Its helper pmu_format_unpack() does the opposite of the existing
pmu_format_value() so rename that one to pmu_format_pack() so it's clear
how they are related.
