CPUID is an X86 instruction: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CPUID used to 
get information about the CPU. The Core performance counter extensions 
is mentioned on the wikipedia page.

You'll need to write assembly code to use this instruction or use 
cpuid.h. Here is an example of using this instruction from a previous 
answer on this list:

#include <cpuid.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
	unsigned a, b, c, d;
	/* check __get_cpuid_max here */
	__cpuid(10, a, b, c, d);
	printf("eax: %x ebx %x ecx %x edx %x\n", a, b, c, d);
	int i;
	for (i = 0; i < 10; i++)
		if (b & (1 << i))
			printf("event %d not supported\n", i);
	return 0;
}
