| |
This patches fixes some issies with raw event validation on Pentium 4 (Netburst) processors.
As I was testing libpfm4 Netburst support, I ran into two problems in the p4_validate_raw_event() function: - the shared field must be checked ONLY when HT is on - the binding to ESCR register was missing
The second item was causing raw events to not be encoded correctly compared to generic PMU events.
With this patch, I can now pass Netburst events to libpfm4 examples and get meaningful results: $ task -e global_power_events:running:u noploop 1 noploop for 1 seconds 3,206,304,898 global_power_events:running
