[ Upstream commit be857b7f77d130dbbd47c91fc35198b040f35865 ]
Events CPU_CYCLES and INSTRUCTIONS can be submitted with two different
perf_event attribute::type values:
- PERF_TYPE_HARDWARE: when invoked via perf tool predefined events name
cycles or cpu-cycles or instructions.
- pmu->type: when invoked via perf tool event name cpu_cf/CPU_CYLCES/ or
cpu_cf/INSTRUCTIONS/. This invocation also selects the PMU to which
the event belongs.
Handle both type of invocations identical for events CPU_CYLCES and
INSTRUCTIONS. They address the same hardware.
The result is different when event modifier exclude_kernel is also set.
Invocation with event modifier for user space event counting fails.
Output before:
# perf stat -e cpum_cf/cpu_cycles/u -- true
Performance counter stats for 'true':
<not supported> cpum_cf/cpu_cycles/u

Output after:
# perf stat -e cpum_cf/cpu_cycles/u -- true
Performance counter stats for 'true':

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
