Subject: [PATCH 22/31] perf, core: Define generic hardware transaction events
From: Andi Kleen <ak@...ux.intel.com>
For tuning and debugging hardware transactional memory it is very
important to have hardware counter support.
This patch adds a simple and hopefully generic set of hardware events
for transactional memory and lock elision.
It is based on the TSX PMU support because I don't have any
information on other CPU's HTM support.
There are start, commit and abort events for transactions and
for lock elision.
The abort events are qualified by a generic abort reason that should
be roughly applicable to a wide range of memory transaction systems:
capacity for the buffering capacity
conflict for a dynamic conflict between CPUs
all for all aborts. On TSX this can be precisely sampled.
We need to split the events into general transaction events and lock
elision events. Architecturs with HTM but no lock elision would only
use the first set.
Implementation for Haswell in a followon patch.
