| |
On Intel SNB (SNB, SNB-EP), the event MEM_LOAD_UOPS_MISS_RETIRED supports PEBS. It was missing for the SNB PEBS event constraint table thereby preventing any measurement with PEBS for it.
This patch adds the event to the PEBS table for SNB.
WARNING: it should be noted that this event like a few others are subject to the erratum BT241 for Xeon E5 (SNB-EP). As such, the event may undercount when used with PEBS unless the workaround is implemented. But without this patch and just the workaround, the kernel would not allow precise sampling on this event. BT241 is documented in: http://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/specification-updates/xeon-e5-family-spec-update.pdf
