Subject: [RESEND PATCH 12/12] perf/x86/intel: Support RDPMC metrics clear mode
From: Kan Liang <kan.liang@...ux.intel.com>
The new RDPMC enhancement, metrics clear mode, is to clear the
PERF_METRICS-related resources as well as the fixed-function performance
monitoring counter 3 after the read is performed. It is available for
ring 3. The feature is enumerated by the
IA32_PERF_CAPABILITIES.RDPMC_CLEAR_METRICS[bit 19]. To enable the
feature, the IA32_FIXED_CTR_CTRL.METRICS_CLEAR_EN[bit 14] must be set.
Two ways were considered to enable the feature.
- Expose a knob in the sysfs globally. One user may affect the
measurement of other users when changing the knob. The solution is
dropped.
- Introduce a new event format, metrics_clear, for the slots event to
disable/enable the feature only for the current process. Users can
utilize the feature as needed.
The latter solution is implemented in the patch.
The current KVM doesn't support the perf metrics yet. For
virtualization, the feature can be enabled later separately.
Update the document of perf metrics.
