The following patch adds perf_event support for the Xeon-Phi PMU, as documented in the "Intel Xeon Phi Coprocessor (codename: Knights Corner) Performance Monitoring Units" manual. Even though it is a co-processor, a Phi runs a full Linux environment and can support performance counters. This is just barebones support, it does not add support for interesting new features such as the SPFLT intruction that allows starting/stopping events without entering the kernel. The PMU internally is just like that of an original Pentium, but a "P6-like" MSR interface is provided. The interface is different enough from a real P6 that it's not easy (or practical) to re-use the code in perf_event_p6.c Acked-by: Lawrence F Meadows <lawrence.f.meadows@intel.com> Acked-by: Cyrill Gorcunov <gorcunov@openvz.org> Signed-off-by: Vince Weaver <vincent.weaver@maine.edu> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@ghostprotocols.net> Cc: eranian@gmail.com Cc: Lawrence F <lawrence.f.meadows@intel.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/alpine.DEB.2.02.1209261405320.8398@vincent-weaver-1.um.maine.edu Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> |
