Subject: [PATCH] perf,x86: mark MEM_LOAD_UOPS_MISS_RETIRED as precise on SNB
Date: Fri, 13 Sep 2013 13:16:46 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130913201646.GA23981@google.com> (raw)
On Intel SNB (SNB, SNB-EP), the event MEM_LOAD_UOPS_MISS_RETIRED
supports PEBS. It was missing for the SNB PEBS event constraint
table thereby preventing any measurement with PEBS for it.
This patch adds the event to the PEBS table for SNB.
WARNING: it should be noted that this event like a few others are subject
to the erratum BT241 for Xeon E5 (SNB-EP). As such, the event may undercount
when used with PEBS unless the workaround is implemented. But without this
patch and just the workaround, the kernel would not allow precise sampling
on this event. BT241 is documented in:
