* perf tests: Add Intel CQM testMatt Fleming2015-10-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Peter reports that it's possible to trigger a WARN_ON_ONCE() in the Intel CQM code by combining a hardware event and an Intel CQM (software) event into a group. Unfortunately, the perf tools are not able to create this bundle and we need to manually construct a test case. For posterity, record Peter's proof of concept test case in tools/perf so that it presents a model for how we can perform architecture specific tests, or "arch tests", in perf in the future. The particular issue triggered in the test case is that when the counter for the hardware event overflows and triggers a PMI we'll read both the hardware event and the software event counters. Unfortunately, for CQM that involves performing an IPI to read the CQM event counters on all sockets, which in NMI context triggers the WARN_ON_ONCE().

* perf tests: Move x86 tests into arch directoryMatt Fleming2015-10-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Move out the x86-specific tests into tools/perf/arch/x86/tests and define an 'arch_tests' array, which is the list of tests that only apply to the build architecture. We can also now begin to get rid of some of the #ifdef code that is present in the generic perf tests.

* perf tests: Add arch testsMatt Fleming2015-10-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Tests that only make sense for some architectures currently live in the same place as the generic tests. Move out the x86-specific tests into tools/perf/arch/x86/tests and define an 'arch_tests' array, which is the list of tests that only apply to the build architecture. The main idea is to encourage developers to add arch tests to build out perf's test coverage, without dumping everything in tools/perf/tests.

* perf build: Add arch x86 objects buildingJiri Olsa2015-02-12
Move the x86 arch objects building under build framework to be included in the libperf build object. Adding also arch/$(ARCH)/Build files for the rest of the archs. The reason for this is that in arch/Build we now do: +libperf-y += $(ARCH)/ which would make the build to fail on other architectures, because the build framework requires 'Build' file in nested directories and this patch adds it only for x86.
