Subject: perf events: how to implement TLB misses as SW event ?
Date: Sun, 24 Nov 2013 19:10:58 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <52924132.2080209@c-s.fr> (raw)
Today in the perfevents subsystem it looks like DTLB/ITLB misses are
implemented as HW counter only.
On some processors, like PowerPC 8xx, there is no counter for that.
However DTLB/ITLB misses are handled as exceptions via software, so we
have an opportunity to implement a SW counter for that.
What's the easiest/best way to implement it ?
Christophe
