      ARM: vfp: Record VFP bounces as perf emulation faults · 87691776
      Ard Biesheuvel authored
      VFP 'bouncing' occurs when the VFP unit cannot complete the execution of
      a VFP instruction, either because it is not implemented at all, or
      because the values of the arguments are out of range for the hardware
      implementation, and the software needs to step in to complete the
      operation.
      
      To give some insight in how much certain programs rely on this bouncing,
      record the emulation of a VFP instruction in perf's emulation-faults
      counter.
      
      This can be used like so
      
        perf stat -e emulation-faults ./testfloat -all2
      
      and the output will be something like
      
       Performance counter stats for './testfloat -all2':
      
                 259,277      emulation-faults:u
