Hey there,

I just found perf mem in the output of perf help and wanted to try it:

$ perf mem record ls
invalid or unsupported event: 'cpu/mem-loads/pp'
Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events

 usage: perf record [<options>] [<command>]
 ...

Am I missing a kernel configuration? Or what is going on here?

Cheers

You need a kernel that has mem-loads in /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/events

Assuming you're on x86 you'll need a 3.10 or later kernel.

cheers

Sorry for the long delay. I wanted to try it out again today, but I still get 
the same error message above. This is with a 4.0.5 kernel and perf 4.0.3.

What is required to get mem-loads in the path specified above?

Bye
