[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] [Xen-devel] [PATCH v6] x86/VPMU: implement ipc and arch filter flags
This introduces a way to have a restricted VPMU, by specifying one of two
predefined groups of PMCs to make available. For secure environments, this
allows the VPMU to be used without needing to enable all PMCs.

Changes in v6:
* addressing review comments from Jan:
* code style changes
* updated sysfs PMU interface flag check
Changes in v5:
* addressing review comments from Kevin:
* simplified BTS DS_AREA filter
* improvements to comments, incl. matching Intel SDM descriptions
Changes in v4:
* changed table reference in comments, suggested by Dietmar
Changes in v3:
* addressing review comments from Boris:
* ensure final flag is validated
* code tidy
Changes in v2:
* feature flags can now be combined (eg, "vpmu=ipc,bts")
* addressing review comments from Boris:
* restrict DS_AREA and PEBS_ENABLE access when filters are in use
* better variable types
* include MSR_IA32_CMT_EVTSEL_UE_MASK flag

+vpmu=ipc enables performance monitoring, but restricts the counters to the
+most minimum set possible: instructions, cycles, and reference cycles. These
+can be used to calculate instructions per cycle (IPC).

+vpmu=arch enables performance monitoring, but restricts the counters to the

+in the Pre-Defined Architectural Performance Events table from the Intel 64

+Programming Guide, Part 2.
+
+If a boolean is not used, combinations of flags are allowed, comma separated.
+For example, vpmu=arch,bts.

Note that if **watchdog** option is also specified vpmu will be turned off.
