Subject: [PATCH 04/16] perf evsel: Disable branch flags/cycles for --callgraph lbr
Date: Mon, 14 Dec 2015 14:44:29 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1450115081-22962-5-git-send-email-acme@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1450115081-22962-1-git-send-email-acme@kernel.org>
From: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com>
[The kernel patch needed for this is in tip now (b16a5b52eb9 perf/x86:
Add option to disable ...) So this user tools patch to make use of it
should be merged now]
Automatically disable collecting branch flags and cycles with
--call-graph lbr. This allows avoiding a bunch of extra MSR
reads in the PMI on Skylake.
When the kernel doesn't support the new flags they are automatically
cleared in the fallback code.
v2: Switch to use branch_sample_type instead of sample_type.
Adjust description.
Fix the fallback logic.
