This series enables Control Transfer Records extension support on riscv
platform. This extension is similar to Arch LBR in x86 and BRBE in ARM.
The Extension has been stable and the latest release can be found here [0]
CTR extension depends on couple of other extensions:
1. S[m|s]csrind : The indirect CSR extension [1] which defines additional
([M|S|VS]IREG2-[M|S|VS]IREG6) register to address size limitation of
RISC-V CSR address space. CTR access ctrsource, ctrtartget and ctrdata
CSRs using sscsrind extension.
2. Smstateen: The mstateen bit[54] controls the access to the CTR ext to
S-mode.
3. Sscofpmf: Counter overflow and privilege mode filtering. [2]
The series is based on Smcdeleg/Ssccfg counter delegation extension [3]
patches. CTR itself doesn't depend on counter delegation support. This
rebase is basically to include the Smcsrind patches.
Due to the dependency of these extensions, the following extensions must be
enabled to use the control transfer records feature.
"smstateen=true,sscofpmf=true,smcsrind=true,sscsrind=true,smctr=true,ssctr=true"
Here is the link to a quick guide [5] to setup and run a basic perf demo on
Linux to use CTR Ext.
