    arm: perf: factor out callchain code · d39976f0
    Mark Rutland authored
    The ARM callchain handling code is currently bundled with the ARM PMU
    management code, despite the two having no dependency on each other.
    This bundling has the unfortunate property of making callchain handling
    depend on CONFIG_HW_PERF_EVENTS, even though the callchain handling
    could be applied to software events in the absence of PMU hardware
    support.
    
    This patch separates the two, placing the callchain handling in
    perf_callchain.c and making it depend on CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS rather than
    CONFIG_HW_PERF_EVENTS, enabling callchain recording on kernels built
    without hardware perf event support.
