Hi Arnaldo,
Currently, in my understanding, the modifiers appended to an event are:
u/k/h/I/G/H/p/...
For example,
perf stat -e cycles:u
Does perf support the modifiers like "cycles/config" or
"cycles/config1", or ..., "cycles/driver-config" now?
I tried some command lines but they were failed. Maybe my used format
was not correct.
Or do you mean the format like "cpu/xxx"? For example,
perf stat -e cpu/event=0x0e,umask=0x1,inv/ -a sleep 1
Anyway, if we want to implement the auto-completion for the modifiers,
it'd better expose them by an interface (e.g. perf list --xx) rather
than hardcode them in auto-completion script. That's my initial idea.
Thanks
Jin Yao
