.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
The
|
||
|
|
.Nm
|
||
|
|
utility controls the operation of the system's hardware performance
|
||
|
|
monitoring counters.
|
||
|
|
.Sh OPTIONS
|
||
|
|
The
|
||
|
|
.Nm
|
||
|
|
utility processes options in command line order, so later options modify
|
||
|
|
the effect of earlier ones.
|
||
|
|
The following options are available:
|
||
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
||
|
|
.It Fl c Ar cpu
|
||
|
|
Subsequent enable and disable options affect the CPU
|
||
|
|
denoted by
|
||
|
|
.Ar cpu .
|
||
|
|
The argument
|
||
|
|
.Ar cpu
|
||
|
|
is either a number denoting a CPU number in the system, or the string
|
||
|
|
.Dq Li \&* ,
|
||
|
|
denoting all CPUs in the system.
|
||
|
|
.It Fl d Ar pmc
|
||
|
|
Disable PMC number
|
||
|
|
.Ar pmc
|
||
|
|
on the CPU specified by
|
||
|
|
.Fl c ,
|
||
|
|
preventing it from being used till subsequently re-enabled.
|
||
|
|
The argument
|
||
|
|
.Ar pmc
|
||
|
|
is either a number denoting a specified PMC, or the string
|
||
|
|
.Dq Li \&*
|
||
|
|
denoting all the PMCs on the specified CPU.
|
||
|
|
.Pp
|
||
|
|
Only idle PMCs may be disabled.
|
||
|
|
.\" XXX this probably needs to be fixed.
|
||
|
|
.It Fl e Ar pmc
|
||
|
|
Enable PMC number
|
||
|
|
.Ar pmc ,
|
||
|
|
on the CPU specified by
|
||
|
|
.Fl c ,
|
||
|
|
allowing it to be used in the future.
|
||
|
|
The argument
|
||
|
|
.Ar pmc
|
||
|
|
is either a number denoting a specified PMC, or the string
|
||
|
|
.Dq Li \&*
|
||
|
|
denoting all the PMCs on the specified CPU.
|
||
|
|
If PMC
|
||
|
|
.Ar pmc
|
||
|
|
is already enabled, this option has no effect.
|
||
|
|
.It Fl l
|
||
|
|
List available hardware performance counters and their current
|
||
|
|
disposition.
|
||
|
|
.It Fl L
|
||
|
|
List available hardware performance counter classes and their
|
||
|
|
supported event names.
|
||
|
|
.It Fl s
|
||
|
|
Print driver statistics maintained by
|
||
|
|
.Xr hwpmc 4 .

|
||
|
|
.Sh EXAMPLES
|
||
|
|
To disable all PMCs on all CPUs, use the command:
|
||
|
|
.Dl pmccontrol -d\&*
|
||
|
|
.Pp
|
||
|
|
To enable all PMCs on all CPUs, use:
|
||
|
|
.Dl pmccontrol -e\&*
|
||
|
|
.Pp
|
||
|
|
To disable PMCs 0 and 1 on CPU 2, use:
|
||
|
|
.Dl pmccontrol -c2 -d0 -d1
|
||
|
|
.Pp
|
||
|
|
To disable PMC 0 of CPU 0 only, and enable all other PMCS on all other
|
||
|
|
CPUs, use:
|
||
|
|
.Dl pmccontrol -c\&* -e\&* -c0 -d0
