Subject: Re: [PATCH 1/2] perf-events: Add support for supplementary event
registers v2
I looked at this patch thinking how could this be reused for LBR_SELECT.
I am wondering if storing the extra MSR value in attr.config is really the way
to go now as opposed to adding/overloading a field.
For OFFCORE_RESPONSE, it makes sense to use attr.config because this is
a refinement of the event (a sub-sub event if you want).
For LBR_SELECT, you also need to pass a value, but there is no specific event
associated with it. You can enable LBR with any event you want. Thus,
storing the
LBR_SELECT value independently would also make sense. And if we have this
field for LBR_SELECT then we may as well use it for OFFCORE_REPONSE.
The alternative would be to consider LBR_SELECT also as a refinement of
the event being measured. Though by itself, it wouldn't do anything, it would
have to be combine with a PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK to attr.sample_type.
What do you think?
