Subject[PATCH V3 0/3] perf intel-pt: Add PEBS-via-PT side-band
Date
Hi

PEBS output to Intel Processor Trace was introduced with Atom
processors based on Tremont. Currently there is software support
only for a single PEBS-via-PT event.

Here is support for multiple PEBS-via-PT events.

The first patch is the kernel change which adds a new event,
namely PERF_RECORD_AUX_OUTPUT_HW_ID which contains the counter
index. That is output when the PEBS-via-PT event is enabled in hardware.
There is an optimization, to report the index only when it changes
for the event. That will work only so long as all PEBS-via-PT
events are scheduled together, which they are for a recording
session because they are in a single group.

Also no attribute bit is used to select the new event, so a new
kernel is not compatible with older perf tools. The assumption
being that PEBS-via-PT is sufficiently esoteric that users will not
be troubled by this.

The second patch adds the usual boiler plate to perf tools for
a new event.

The third patch adds support for processing the new event by
perf tool's Intel PT decoder.


Changes in V3:
perf/x86: Add new event for AUX output counter index
Do not set assign callback unless x86_pmu.intel_cap.pebs_output_pt_available

Changes in V2:
perf/x86: Add new event for AUX output counter index
Use callback from x86_assign_hw_event


Adrian Hunter (3):
perf/x86: Add new event for AUX output counter index
perf tools: Add support for PERF_RECORD_AUX_OUTPUT_HW_ID
perf intel-pt: Add support for PERF_RECORD_AUX_OUTPUT_HW_ID
