.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In pmc.h
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Tn Intel
|
|
fixed-function PMCs are present in CPUs that conform to version 2 or
|
|
later of the
|
|
.Tn Intel
|
|
Performance Measurement Architecture.
|
|
Each fixed-function PMC measures a specific hardware event.
|
|
The number of fixed-function PMCs implemented in a CPU can vary.
|
|
The number of fixed-function PMCs present can be determined at runtime
|
|
by using function
|
|
.Xr pmc_cpuinfo 3 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Intel fixed-function PMCs are documented in
|
|
.Rs
|
|
.%B "IA-32 Intel(R) Architecture Software Developer's Manual"
|
|

|
.Ss Class Name Prefix
|
|
These PMCs are named using a class name prefix of
|
|
.Dq Li iaf- .
|
|
.Ss Event Qualifiers (Fixed Function PMCs)
|
|
These PMCs support the following modifiers:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Li os
|
|
Configure the PMC to count events occurring at ring level 0.
|
|
.It Li usr
|
|
Configure the PMC to count events occurring at ring levels 1, 2
|
|
or 3.
|
|
.It Li anythread
|
|
.Pq Tn Atom CPUs
|
|
Configure the PMC to count events on all logical processors sharing a
|
|
processor core.
|
|
The default is to count events on the current logical processor.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If neither of the
|
|
.Dq Li os
|
|
or
|
|
.Dq Li usr
|
|
qualifiers are specified, the default is to enable both.
|
|
.Ss Event Specifiers (Fixed Function PMCs)
|
|
The fixed function PMCs are selectable using the following
|
|
event names:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Li INSTR_RETIRED.ANY
|
|
.Pq Fixed Function Counter 0
|
|
The number of instructions retired.
|
|
.It Li CPU_CLK_UNHALTED.CORE
|
|
.Pq Fixed Function Counter 1
|
|
The number of core cycles for which the core is not halted.
|
|
.It Li CPU_CLK_UNHALTED.REF
|
|
.Pq Fixed Function Counter 2
|
|
The number of reference cycles for which the core is not halted.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Sh EXAMPLES
|
|
To measure the number of core cycles for which the core was not halted
|
|
use the event specifier
|
|
.Qq iaf-cpu-clk-unhalted.core .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
To measure the number of user instructions retired use the event specifier
|
|
.Qq iaf-instr-retired.any,usr .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
To measure the number of user instructions retired on all logical processors
|
|
in an
|
|
.Tn Atom
|
|
CPU, use the event specifier
|
|
.Qq iaf-instr-retired.any,usr,anythread .
