Subject: [PATCH] perf,x86: add constraint for IVB CYCLE_ACTIVITY:CYCLES_LDM_PENDING
Date: Wed, 11 Sep 2013 08:22:22 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130911152222.GA28761@google.com> (raw)
The IvyBridge event CYCLE_ACTIVITY:CYCLES_LDM_PENDING can only
be measured on counters 0-3 when HT is off. When HT is on, you
only have counters 0-3.
If you program it on the eight counters for 1s on a 3GHz
IVB laptop running a noploop, you see:
2 747 527 CYCLE_ACTIVITY:CYCLES_LDM_PENDING
2 747 527 CYCLE_ACTIVITY:CYCLES_LDM_PENDING
2 747 527 CYCLE_ACTIVITY:CYCLES_LDM_PENDING
2 747 527 CYCLE_ACTIVITY:CYCLES_LDM_PENDING
3 280 563 608 CYCLE_ACTIVITY:CYCLES_LDM_PENDING
3 280 563 608 CYCLE_ACTIVITY:CYCLES_LDM_PENDING
3 280 563 608 CYCLE_ACTIVITY:CYCLES_LDM_PENDING
3 280 563 608 CYCLE_ACTIVITY:CYCLES_LDM_PENDING
Clearly the last 4 values are bogus.
