.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 argument
|
|
.Ar cpu .
|
|
The argument
|
|
.Ar cpu
|
|
is a number denoting a CPU in the system, or
|
|
.Dq Li * ,
|
|
denoting all unhalted 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 a number denoting a specific PMC, or
|
|
.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 a number denoting a specific PMC, or
|
|
.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
|
|

.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"
