Subject: [PATCH 2/8] perf mem/c2c: Fix perf_mem_events to support powerpc
Date: Tue, 5 Feb 2019 12:07:02 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190205150708.9012-3-acme@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20190205150708.9012-1-acme@kernel.org>
From: Ravi Bangoria <ravi.bangoria@linux.ibm.com>
PowerPC hardware does not have a builtin latency filter (--ldlat) for
the "mem-load" event and perf_mem_events by default includes
"/ldlat=30/" which is causing a failure on PowerPC. Refactor the code to
support "perf mem/c2c" on PowerPC.
This patch depends on kernel side changes done my Madhavan:
