Subject: Re: [PATCH v1 1/8] perf/x86: add support to mask counters from host
Date: Mon, 5 Nov 2018 10:20:15 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20181105182015.GP6218@tassilo.jf.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <286AC319A985734F985F78AFA26841F73DE3AC8B@shsmsx102.ccr.corp.intel.com>


I ran into a similar problem with my PEBS virtualization patchkit.

My solution was: basically schedule as normal, but tell the scheduler to
force allocate a counter on a specific index.  It can be done
only with a few lines of change in the scheduler code.
