2017-04-19	powerpc/perf: Add Power8 mem_access event to sysfs	Madhavan Srinivasan	1	-0/+6
	Patch add "mem_access" event to sysfs. This as-is not a raw event supported by Power8 pmu. Instead, it is formed based on raw event encoding specificed in isa207-common.h. Primary PMU event used here is PM_MRK_INST_CMPL. This event tracks only the completed marked instructions. Random sampling mode (MMCRA[SM]) with Random Instruction Sampling (RIS) is enabled to mark type of instructions. With Random sampling in RLS mode with PM_MRK_INST_CMPL event, the LDST /DATA_SRC fields in SIER identifies the memory hierarchy level (eg: L1, L2 etc) statisfied a data-cache miss for a marked instruction.

2016-03-10	powerpc/perf: Export Power8 generic and cache events to sysfs	Sukadev Bhattiprolu	1	-0/+51
	Power8 supports a large number of events in each susbystem so when a user runs: perf stat -e branch-instructions sleep 1 perf stat -e L1-dcache-loads sleep 1 it is not clear as to which PMU events were monitored. Export the generic hardware and cache perf events for Power8 to sysfs, so users can precisely determine the PMU event monitored by the generic event. Eg: cat /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/events/branch-instructions event=0x10068 $ cat /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/events/L1-dcache-loads event=0x100ee Signed-off-by: Sukadev Bhattiprolu <sukadev@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>
