Subject: Re: [PATCH 2/7] perf-events: Add support for supplementary event
 registers v4

Hi,

I'd like to suggest that the OFFCORE_RESPONSE extra MSR encoding
be put into a dedicated field in the perf_event_attr instead of in the upper
32-bits of attr->config.

There may not be enough space to encode for future processors.

In fact, given that the Sandy Bridge PMU spec is now available, we
have a first example of this (see Vol3b figure 30.29). OFFCORE_RESPONSE
needs 38 bits. So, instead of having NHM/WSM use attr->config and SNB
use another field, I think it would make sense to have that in a new u64 field
for all processors. Despite the fact that OFFCORE_RESPONSE remains
a model-specific feature, I think it would help user tools and libraries if we
were to use a dedicated field.
