Normally when the LBRs are disabled cycles:pp is disabled too. So for example cycles:pp doesn't work. However this is not needed with PEBSv2 and later (Haswell) because it does not need LBRs to correct the IP-off-by-one. So add an extra check for PEBSv2 that also allows :pp Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@...ux.intel.com> --- arch/x86/kernel/cpu/perf_event.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/perf_event.c b/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/perf_event.c index 2879ecd..0646d3b 100644 --- a/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/perf_event.c +++ b/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/perf_event.c @@ -387,7 +387,7 @@ int x86_pmu_hw_config(struct perf_event *event) precise++; /* Support for IP fixup */ - if (x86_pmu.lbr_nr) + if (x86_pmu.lbr_nr || x86_pmu.intel_cap.pebs_format >= 2) precise++; } -- 1.9.3 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
