vendor provided pmu-events tables and sundry cleanups. The vendor pmu-events tables provide counter descriptions, default sample rates, event, umask, and flag values for all the counter configuration permutations. Using this gives us: - much simpler kernel code for the MD component - helpful long and short event descriptions - simpler user code - sample rates that won't overload the system Update man page with newer sample types and remove unused sample type.

.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
These functions provide a way for application programs to extract
|
|
events from an event stream generated by
|
|
.Xr hwpmc 4 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
A new event log parser is allocated using
|
|
.Fn pmclog_open .
|
|
Argument
|
|
.Fa fd
|
|
may be a file descriptor opened for reading if the event stream is
|
|
present in a file, or the constant
|
|
.Dv PMCLOG_FD_NONE
|
|
for an event stream present in memory.
|
|
This function returns a cookie that is passed into the other functions
|
|
in this API set.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Function
|
|
.Fn pmclog_read
|
|
returns the next available event in the event stream associated with
|
|
argument
|
|
.Fa cookie .
|
|
Argument
|
|
.Fa ev
|
|
points to an event descriptor that which will contain the result of a
|
|
successfully parsed event.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
An event descriptor returned by
|
|
.Fn pmclog_read
|
|
has the following structure:
|
|
.Bd -literal
|
|
struct pmclog_ev {
|
|
enum pmclog_state pl_state; /* parser state after 'get_event()' */
|
|
off_t pl_offset; /* byte offset in stream */
|
|
size_t pl_count; /* count of records so far */
|
|
struct timespec pl_ts; /* log entry timestamp */
|
|
enum pmclog_type pl_type; /* log entry kind */
|
|
union { /* log entry data */
|
|
struct pmclog_ev_callchain pl_cc;
|
|
struct pmclog_ev_closelog pl_cl;
|
|
struct pmclog_ev_dropnotify pl_d;
|
|
struct pmclog_ev_initialize pl_i;
|

struct pmclog_ev_pmcallocatedyn pl_ad;

struct pmclog_ev_pmcattach pl_t;

struct pmclog_ev_procfork pl_f;
|
|
struct pmclog_ev_sysexit pl_e;
|

struct pmclog_ev_userdata pl_u;
|
|
} pl_u;
|
|
};
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The current state of the parser is recorded in
|
|
.Va pl_state .
|
|
This field can take on the following values:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width ".Dv PMCLOG_REQUIRE_DATA"
|
|
.It Dv PMCLOG_EOF
|
|
(For file based parsers only)
|
|
An end-of-file condition was encountered on the configured file
|
|
descriptor.
|
|
.It Dv PMCLOG_ERROR
|
|
An error occurred during parsing.
|
|
.It Dv PMCLOG_OK
|
|

|
|
.Fa *ev .
|
|
.It Dv PMCLOG_REQUIRE_DATA
|
|
There was insufficient data in the event stream to assemble a complete
|
|
event record.
|
|
For memory based parsers, more data can be fed to the
|
|
parser using function
|
|
.Fn pmclog_feed .
|
|
For file based parsers, function
|
|
.Fn pmclog_read

|
may be retried when data is available on the configured file
|
|
descriptor.

|
|
.Va pl_type
|
|
denotes the kind of the event returned in argument

.Pp
|
|
Function
|
|
.Fn pmclog_feed
|
|
is used with parsers configured to parse memory based event streams.
|
|
It is intended to be called when function
|
|
.Fn pmclog_read
|
|
indicates the need for more data by a returning
|
|
.Dv PMCLOG_REQUIRE_DATA
|
|
in field
|
|
.Va pl_state
|
|
of its event structure argument.
|
|
Argument
|
|
.Fa data
|
|
points to the start of a memory buffer containing fresh event data.
|
|
Argument
|
|
.Fa len
|
|
indicates the number of data bytes available.
|
|
The memory range
|
|
.Bq Fa data , Fa data No + Fa len
|
|
must remain valid till the next time
|
|
.Fn pmclog_read
|
|
returns an error.
|
|
It is an error to use
|
|
.Fn pmclog_feed
|
|
on a parser configured to parse file data.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Function
|
|
.Fn pmclog_close
|
|
releases the internal state allocated by a prior call
|
|
to
|
|
.Fn pmclog_open .
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
Function
|
|
.Fn pmclog_open
|
|
will return a

|
.No non- Ns Dv NULL
|
|

|
|
.Dv NULL
|
|
otherwise.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Function
|
|
.Fn pmclog_read
|
|
will return 0 in case a complete event record was successfully read,
|
|
or will return \-1 and will set the
|
|
.Va pl_state
|
|
field of the event record to the appropriate code in case of an error.
|
