      perf annotate: Add per arch instructions annotate handlers · 763d8960
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      Another step in supporting cross annotation.
      
      The arch specific tables are put in:
      
         tools/perf/arch/$ARCH/annotation/instructions.c
      
      which, so far, just plug instructions to a bunch of parsers/formatters,
      but may have more as the need arises.
      
      This is an alternative implementation to a previous attempt made by Ravi
      Bangoria.

      perf annotate: Allow arches to specify functions to skip · 9c2fb451
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      This is to cope with an ARM specific kludge introduced in the original
      patch supporting ARM annotation, cfef25b8 ("perf annotate: ARM
      support") that made functions with a '+' in its name to be skipped when
      processing call instructions.
      
      With this patchkit it should be possible to collect a perf.data file on
      a ARM machine and then annotate it on a x86 workstation and have those
      ARM kludges used.

      perf annotate: Start supporting cross arch annotation · 786c1b51
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      Introduce a 'struct arch', where arch specific stuff will live, starting
      with objdump's choice of comment delimitation character, that is '#' in
      x86 while a ';' in arm.
      
      This has some bits and pieces from a patch submitted by Ravi.

      perf list: Make vendor event matching case insensitive · 38d14f0c
      Andi Kleen authored
      Make the 'perf list' glob matching for vendor events case insensitive.
      This allows to use the upper case vendor events with perf list too.
      
      Now the following works:
      
        % perf list LONGEST_LAT
      
        ...
      
        cache:
          longest_lat_cache.miss
               [Core-originated cacheable demand requests missed LLC]
          longest_lat_cache.reference
               [Core-originated cacheable demand requests that refer to LLC]
