Subject[PATCH V6 0/13] perf: Intel uncore pmu counting support
Date
Hi, all

Here is the V6 patches to add uncore counting support for Nehalem,
Sandy Bridge and Sandy Bridge-EP, applied on top of current tip.
The code is based on Lin Ming's old patches.

For Nehalem and Sandy Bridge-EP, A few general events are exported
under sysfs directory:
/sys/bus/event_source/devices/${uncore_dev}/events/

Each file in the events directory defines an event. The content is
a string such as:
config=1,config1=2

You can use 'perf stat' to access to the uncore pmu. For example:
perf stat -a -C 0 -e 'uncore_imc_0/CAS_COUNT_RD/' sleep 1
perf stat -a -C 0 -e 'uncore_imc_0/event=CAS_COUNT_RD/' sleep 1

Any comment is appreciated.
Thank you

Changes since v1:
- Modify perf tool to parse events from sysfs
- A few minor code cleanup

Changes since v2:
- Place all events for a particular socket onto a single cpu
- Make the events parser in perf tool reentrantable
- A few code cleanup

Changes since v3:
- Use per cpu pointer to track uncore box
- Rework the cpu hotplug code because topology_physical_package_id()
return wrong result when the cpu is offline
- Rework the event alias code, event terms are stored in the alias
structure instead events string

Changes since v4:
- Include Jiri's uncore related changes patch set
- Add pmu/event=alias/ syntax support

Changes since v5:
- All lower case letters for uncore pmu name
- Make event alias case insensitive
