|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
AMD K8 PMCs are present in the
|
|
.Tn "AMD Athlon64"
|
|
and
|
|
.Tn "AMD Opteron"
|
|
series of CPUs.
|
|
They are documented in the
|
|
.Rs
|
|
.%B "BIOS and Kernel Developer's Guide for the AMD Athlon(tm) 64 and AMD Opteron Processors"

.Re
|
|
.Ss PMC Features
|
|
AMD K8 PMCs are 48 bits wide.
|
|
Each CPU contains 4 PMCs with the following capabilities:
|
|
.Bl -column "PMC_CAP_INTERRUPT" "Support"
|
|
.It Em Capability Ta Em Support
|
|
.It PMC_CAP_CASCADE Ta \&No
|
|
.It PMC_CAP_EDGE Ta Yes
|

.It PMC_CAP_INTERRUPT Ta Yes
|
|
.It PMC_CAP_INVERT Ta Yes
|
|
.It PMC_CAP_READ Ta Yes

|
.It PMC_CAP_SYSTEM Ta Yes
|
|
.It PMC_CAP_TAGGING Ta \&No
|

.It PMC_CAP_USER Ta Yes
|
|
.It PMC_CAP_WRITE Ta Yes
|
|
.El
|
|
.Ss Event Qualifiers
|
|
Event specifiers for AMD K8 PMCs can have the following optional
|
|
qualifiers:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Li count= Ns Ar value
|
|
Configure the counter to increment only if the number of configured
|
|
events measured in a cycle is greater than or equal to
|
|
.Ar value .
|
|
.It Li edge
|
|
Configure the counter to only count negated-to-asserted transitions
|
|
of the conditions expressed by the other fields.
|
|
In other words, the counter will increment only once whenever a given
|
|
condition becomes true, irrespective of the number of clocks during
|
|
which the condition remains true.
|
|
.It Li inv
|
|
Invert the sense of comparison when the
|
|
.Dq Li count
|
|
qualifier is present, making the counter to increment when the
|
|
number of events per cycle is less than the value specified by
|
|
the
|
|
.Dq Li count
|
|
qualifier.
|
|
.It Li mask= Ns Ar qualifier
|
|
Many event specifiers for AMD K8 PMCs need to be additionally
|
|
qualified using a mask qualifier.
|
|
These additional qualifiers are event-specific and are documented
|
|
along with their associated event specifiers below.
|
|
.It Li os
|
|
Configure the PMC to count events happening at privilege level 0.
|
|
.It Li usr
|
|
Configure the PMC to count events occurring at privilege levels 1, 2
|
|
or 3.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If neither of the
|
|
.Dq Li os
|
|
or
|
|
.Dq Li usr
|
|
qualifiers were specified, the default is to enable both.
|
|
