[PATCH RFC v3 02/13] KVM: x86/pmu: Support PMU fixed counter 3

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The TopDown slots event can be enabled on gp counter or fixed counter 3
and it does not differ from other fixed counters in terms of the use of
count and sampling modes (except for the hardware logic for event
accumulation).

According to commit 6017608936c1 ("perf/x86/intel: Add Icelake
support"), KVM or any perf in-kernel user needs to reprogram fixed
counter 3 via the kernel-defined TopDown slots event for real fixed
counter 3 on the host.
