[PATCH v1 2/2] x86/perf: Export some PMU attributes in caps

Andi Kleen
2017-08-22T18:52:30Z

From: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com>

It can be difficult to figure out for user programs what features
the x86 cpu pmu driver actually supports. Currently it requires
grepping in dmesg, but dmesg is not always available.

This adds a caps directory to /sys/devices/cpu, similar
to the caps already used on intel_pt, which can be used
to discover the available capabilities cleanly.

Currently three capabilities are defined:

- pmu_name
Underlying CPU name known to the driver
- max_precise
Max precise level supported
- branches
Known depth of LBR.

Example:

% grep . /sys/devices/cpu/caps/*
/sys/devices/cpu/caps/branches:32
/sys/devices/cpu/caps/max_precise:3
/sys/devices/cpu/caps/pmu_name:skylake
%
