[PATCH] x86 performance counters driver 3.0-pre2 for 2.5.44: [1/4] core files

Mikael Pettersson (mikpe@csd.uu.se)
Thu, 24 Oct 2002 17:00:16 +0200 (MET DST)


Here is perfctr-3.0-pre2 for 2.5.44. This is the 2.5-ready version
of the Linux/x86 performance-monitoring counters kernel extension.
Please consider it for inclusion in 2.5/2.6.

This is part 1 of 4: adding core files. The kernel will still compile
with this patch set applied.

+CONFIG_PERFCTR
+ This driver provides access to the performance-monitoring counter
+ registers available in some (but not all) modern processors.
+ These special-purpose registers can be programmed to count low-level
+ performance-related events which occur during program execution,
+ such as cache misses, pipeline stalls, etc.
+
+ The driver supports most x86-class processors known to have
+ performance-monitoring counters: Intel Pentium to Pentium 4,
+ AMD K7, Cyrix 6x86MX/MII/III, VIA C3, and WinChip C6/2/3.
+
+ On processors which have a time-stamp counter but no performance-
+ monitoring counters, such as the AMD K6 family, the driver supports
+ plain cycle-count performance measurements only.
+
+ On WinChip C6/2/3 processors the performance-monitoring counters
+ cannot be used unless the time-stamp counter has been disabled.
+ Please read <file:drivers/perfctr/x86.c> for further information.
+
+ You can safely say Y here, even if you intend to run the kernel
+ on a processor without performance-monitoring counters.
+
+CONFIG_PERFCTR_VIRTUAL
+ The processor's performance-monitoring counters are special-purpose
+ global registers. This option adds support for virtual per-process
+ performance-monitoring counters which only run when the process
+ to which they belong is executing. This improves the accuracy of
+ performance measurements by reducing "noise" from other processes.
+
+ Say Y.
