    perf: Add driver for Arm NI-700 interconnect PMU · 4d5a7680
    Robin Murphy authored
    The Arm NI-700 Network-on-Chip Interconnect has a relatively
    straightforward design with a hierarchy of voltage, power, and clock
    domains, where each clock domain then contains a number of interface
    units and a PMU which can monitor events thereon. As such, it begets a
    relatively straightforward driver to interface those PMUs with perf.
    
    Even more so than with arm-cmn, users will require detailed knowledge of
    the wider system topology in order to meaningfully analyse anything,
    since the interconnect itself cannot know what lies beyond the boundary
    of each inscrutably-numbered interface. Given that, for now they are
    also expected to refer to the NI-700 documentation for the relevant
    event IDs to provide as well. An identifier is implemented so we can
    come back and add jevents if anyone really wants to.
