+Description: Per-pmu performance monitoring events specific to the running system
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ Each file (except for some of those with a '.' in them, '.unit'
|
|
|
+ and '.scale') in the 'events' directory describes a single
|
|
|
+ performance monitoring event supported by the <pmu>. The name
|
|
|
+ of the file is the name of the event.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ File contents:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ <term>[=<value>][,<term>[=<value>]]...
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ Where <term> is one of the terms listed under
|
|
|
+ /sys/bus/event_source/devices/<pmu>/format/ and <value> is
|
|
|
+ a number is base-16 format with a '0x' prefix (lowercase only).
|
|
|
+ If a <term> is specified alone (without an assigned value), it
|
|
|
+ is implied that 0x1 is assigned to that <term>.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ Examples (each of these lines would be in a seperate file):
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ event=0x2abc
|
|
|
+ event=0x423,inv,cmask=0x3
|
|
|
+ domain=0x1,offset=0x8,starting_index=0xffff
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ Each of the assignments indicates a value to be assigned to a
|
|
|
+ particular set of bits (as defined by the format file
|
|
|
+ corresponding to the <term>) in the perf_event structure passed
|
|
|
+ to the perf_open syscall.

|
|
|

|
|
|
+ A string specifying the English plural numerical unit that <event>
|
|
|
+ (once multiplied by <event>.scale) represents.

+Description: Perf event scaling factors
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ A string representing a floating point value expressed in
|
|
|
+ scientific notation to be multiplied by the event count
|
|
|
+ recieved from the kernel to match the unit specified in the
|
|
|
+ <event>.unit file.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ Example:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ 2.3283064365386962890625e-10
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ This is provided to avoid performing floating point arithmetic
|
|
|
+ in the kernel.
