[PATCH v6 15/20] KVM: selftests: Expand PMU counters test to verify LLC events

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

 



Expand the PMU counters test to verify that LLC references and misses have
non-zero counts when the code being executed while the LLC event(s) is
active is evicted via CFLUSH{,OPT}.  Note, CLFLUSH{,OPT} requires a fence
of some kind to ensure the cache lines are flushed before execution
continues.  Use MFENCE for simplicity (performance is not a concern).
