Subject: [PATCH] perf/smmuv3: Add MODULE_ALIAS for module auto loading
On my ACPI based arm64 server, if the SMMUv3 PMU is configured as
module it won't be loaded automatically after booting even if the
device has already been scanned and added. It's because the module
lacks a platform alias, the uevent mechanism and userspace tools
like udevd make use of this to find the target driver module of the
device. This patch adds the missing platform alias of the module,
then module will be loaded automatically if device exists.
Before this patch:
[root@localhost tmp]# modinfo arm_smmuv3_pmu | grep alias
alias: of:N*T*Carm,smmu-v3-pmcgC*
alias: of:N*T*Carm,smmu-v3-pmcg
After this patch:
[root@localhost tmp]# modinfo arm_smmuv3_pmu | grep alias
alias: platform:arm-smmu-v3-pmcg
alias: of:N*T*Carm,smmu-v3-pmcgC*
alias: of:N*T*Carm,smmu-v3-pmcg
