Committer testing: On a Lenovo T480S, Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8650U Kaby Lake, that looking at x86's mapfile.csv file is a: $ grep -w skylake tools/perf/pmu-events/arch/x86/mapfile.csv GenuineIntel-6-[4589]E,v24,skylake,core $ So uses the constraint added in this patch in this file: tools/perf/pmu-events/arch/x86/skylake/skl-metrics.json Before: # perf stat -a -M Page_Walks_Utilization sleep 2 Performance counter stats for 'system wide': <not counted> itlb_misses.walk_pending (0.00%) <not counted> dtlb_load_misses.walk_pending (0.00%) <not counted> dtlb_store_misses.walk_pending (0.00%) <not counted> ept.walk_pending (0.00%) <not counted> cycles (0.00%) 2.001750514 seconds time elapsed Some events weren't counted. Try disabling the NMI watchdog: echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog perf stat ... echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog The events in group usually have to be from the same PMU.
