ARM: perf: split by architecture

Hi Russell,

I tried to submit these to your patch system but the nature of the final patch means that it is too large (because it moves code out of perf_event.c and into the new per-arch files). Please can you pull these changes now that they have been reviewed on the list?

Thanks,

Will

At a guess you mean linux-arm.org here.

Hi Russell,

D'oh, yes, sorry about that. There's also a mirror here:

git://repo.or.cz/linux-2.6/linux-wd.git perf-split

Which is (a) spelled correctly and (b) probably faster. It just takes a while to sync up, although the perf-split branch is up-to-date.
