One Line Summary

With newer ARM platforms implementing some related counters, can we make use of them until interface is completely standardized ?

Abstract

Newer processors include activity monitors which is useful for performance monitoring. However these monitors are not fully architected and hence we may have multiple implementations.

So the idea is to implement a standard interface for these monitors which can be used my schedutil/cpufreq drivers abstracting all the implementation specific details.
