I have seen working performance counters on 3.15-rc8. The versions of
the kernel we have on our aarch64 lab hardware have kernel oopses when
hardware counters are used. On Juno, the 3.14 linaro kernel seems not
to provide access to the performance counters.

Some care needs to be taken with perf reports on both arm/aarch64, as
they are sometimes have bogus addresses in the profile. (sometimes
large amounts of time can be attributed to anonymous hex addresses, do
not ignore these. I have a workaround script)
