This is what i get when I run "perf stat ./a.out" ( with --cpu host passed in qemu-kvm ) Performance counter stats for './a.out': 954.925996 task-clock-msecs # 0.955 CPUs 23 context-switches # 0.000 M/sec 0 CPU-migrations # 0.000 M/sec 93 page-faults # 0.000 M/sec 2110635735 cycles # 2210.261 M/sec 901816391 instructions # 0.427 IPC 247677 cache-references # 0.259 M/sec 15044 cache-misses # 0.016 M/sec 0.999846560 seconds time elapsed This is without --cpu host ( Note that only software events get monitored ) Performance counter stats for './a.out': 913.826372 task-clock-msecs # 0.990 CPUs 13 context-switches # 0.000 M/sec 0 CPU-migrations # 0.000 M/sec 93 page-faults # 0.000 M/sec <not counted> cycles <not counted> instructions <not counted> cache-references <not counted> cache-misses 0.923182044 seconds time elapsed I guess things are working fine with perf.
