Subject[PATCH 04/31] perf, core: Add generic intx/intx_checkpointed counter modifiers
Date
From: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com>

Expose INTX (count in transaction only, :t) and INTX_CHECKPOINTED
(on transaction abort restore counter, :c) attributes as generic perf event
attributes. These are important for measuring basic hardware transactional behaviour.

They also need to be handled in a special way in the Haswell port, so it's useful
to have them as generic attributes.

Typically they would be used as a group with:

{cycles,cycles:t,cycles:ct}

Then:

Total cycles = cycles
Percent cycles in transaction = (cycles:t/cycles)*100
Percent cycles in transaction lost due to aborts = ((cycles:t-cycles:ct) / cycles)*100

This gives a quick overview of the transactional execution.

Used in followon patches.
