It can be difficult to figure out for user programs what features the x86 CPU PMU driver actually supports. Currently it requires grepping in dmesg, but dmesg is not always available. This adds a caps directory to /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/, similar to the caps already used on intel_pt, which can be used to discover the available capabilities cleanly. Three capabilities are defined: - pmu_name: Underlying CPU name known to the driver - max_precise: Max precise level supported - branches: Known depth of LBR. Example: % grep . /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/caps/* /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/caps/branches:32 /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/caps/max_precise:3 /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/caps/pmu_name:skylake Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170822185201.9261-3-andi@firstfloor.org Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> |
