Subject: Re: [RFC][PATCH 6/6] perf, tools: X86 RDPMC, RDTSC test

Peter,

I don't see how this test and infrastructure handles the case where the event
is multiplexed. I know there is time_enabled and time_running. But those are
not sync'd to the moment of the rdpmc(). I think there needs to be some other
timestamp in the mmap struct so the user can compute a delta to then add to
time_enabled and time_running.

Unless, we assume the two time metrics are there ONLY to compute a scaling
ratio. In which case, I think, we don't need the delta because if we
can do rdpmc()
it means the event is currently scheduled and thus time_enabled and time_running
are both ticking which means the scaling ratio does not change since the moment
the event was scheduled in.

Am I understanding the reasoning right?
