Create a sysfs entry, '/sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/format/event'
which describes the format of a POWER cpu.
The format of the event is the same for all POWER cpus at least in
(Power6, Power7), so bulk of this change is common in the code common
to POWER cpus.
This code is based on correspo

Rename EVENT_ATTR() and EVENT_PTR() PMU_EVENT_ATTR() and PMU_EVENT_PTR().
Make them global so they are available to all architectures.
Further to allow architectures flexibility, have PMU_EVENT_PTR() pass in the
variable name as a parameter.

Define and use macros to identify perf events codes This would make it
easier and more readable when these event codes need to be used in more
than one place.

This patch adds support for enabling and context switching the Target
Address Register in Power8. The TAR is a new special purpose register
that can be used for computed branches with the bctar[l] (branch
conditional to TAR) instruction in the same manner as the count and link

Thanks, applied to kvm-ppc-next (wit
The include/uapi/asm/kvm_para.h includes
but the correct reference
should be as this is the place
where make install_header installs the header files for

Yes this is right. But it is the first Kernel which supports our

Hello,
I hope someone could help me with my problem. Currently I am porting
a new kernel (3.3.8) for a tqm5200s based board.
The previous kernel was 2.6.23. The new kernel version is needed because
of support for a wireless card.
The new kernel has problems with my ethernet PHY. The problem occur
