Update on merge request to support HiSilicon's Kunpeng 920

[Lau Mercadal Melià]

Good morning,

Some months ago (April 1st) we opened a merge request to add support
for ARM v8.2 HiSilicon's Kunpeng 920 core and uncore PMU events
(https://sourceforge.net/p/perfmon2/libpfm4/merge-requests/17/).

As of today we still have not received any update on its status.

Is there a way to know if it's being considered? if we missed
something? if it needs further work? Are merge requests the way to
submit patches to libpfm4? Is there an alternative method?

How could we get some insight?

Kind regards,
-- Lau

Hi,

Sorry for the long delay. I missed that merge. Usually people send me
the patches directly.
I looked at the patches. They look good. However I prefer is core and
uncore patches are
separated. This makes each patch smaller and easier to review and
separate features more
easily.
Do you mind splitting the first patch into two parrts?
Please send them to me directly.
Thanks.

Hi,

Not a problem, it's good to know there's a more direct way to
contribute to libpfm4.

Thanks for taking the time to look at the patch, I'll split it right
away into core and uncore changes and send them directly to you.

Regards,
