'perf record' and 'perf report --dump-raw-trace' supported in this
release.
Example usage:
# perf record -e arm_spe/ts_enable=1,pa_enable=1/ dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null count=10000
# perf report --dump-raw-trace
Note that the perf.data file is portable, so the report can be run on
another architecture host if necessary.
Output will contain raw SPE data and its textual representation, such
as:
0x5c8 [0x30]: PERF_RECORD_AUXTRACE size: 0x200000 offset: 0 ref: 0x1891ad0e idx: 1 tid: 2227 cpu: 1

Other release notes:
- applies to acme's perf/{core,urgent} branches, likely elsewhere
- Report is self-contained within the tool.
Record requires enabling the kernel SPE driver by
setting CONFIG_ARM_SPE_PMU.
- The intel-bts implementation was used as a starting point; its
min/default/max buffer sizes and power of 2 pages granularity need to be
revisited for ARM SPE
- Recording across multiple SPE clusters/domains not supported
- Snapshot support (record -S), and conversion to native perf events
(e.g., via 'perf inject --itrace'), are also not supported
- Technically both cs-etm and spe can be used simultaneously, however
disabled for simplicity in this release

On an arm64 machine running a CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE=y kernel, perf
kernel symbol resolution fails. Debugging saw symsrc_init calling the
default elf__needs_adjust_symbols() where checks for an ET_DYN (3)
ehdr.e_type failed when they should have succeeded.
Fix by adopting powerpc version of the weak elf__needs_adjust_symbols()
function, as done in commit d233209833 ("perf probe ppc: Fix symbol
fixup issues due to ELF type").
Prior to this patch, perf test 1 would fail:
$ sudo oldperf test -v 1 |& head
1: vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms :
test child forked, pid 33374
Looking at the vmlinux_path (8 entries long)
Using /usr/lib/debug/boot/vmlinux for symbols
ERR : 0xfffe0000100f1000: do_undefinstr not on kallsyms

...
After applying this patch, perf test 1 now succeeds:
$ sudo ./newperf test -v 1 |& head
1: vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms :
