Ok, I rebuilt my Kernel and perf tools from that tree and tested it on a
quad-core ARMv7 board. Per-task counters appear to work (software and
hardware) but pinned hardware counters always return 0:


root@will-lucid-nfs:~# perf stat -a -e cs -e cycles -e instructions -- ls
linux-2.6  tmp

 Performance counter stats for 'ls':

                 33  context-switches        
                  0  cycles                  
                  0  instructions             #      0.000 IPC  

        0.028572009  seconds time elapsed


It's odd if only ARM is affected in this way. Do pinned events still work
for other people?
