|
| This patch makes all the POWER7 events available in sysfs.
| So we can instead specify these as:
|
| perf stat -e 'cpu/PM_CMPLU_STALL_DFU/' <application>
|
| where PM_CMPLU_STALL_DFU is the r2003c in previous example.
|
| Before this patch is applied, the size of power7-pmu.o is:
|
| $ size arch/powerpc/perf/power7-pmu.o
| text data bss dec hex filename
| 3073 2720 0 5793 16a1 arch/powerpc/perf/power7-pmu.o
|
| and after the patch is applied, it is:
|
| $ size arch/powerpc/perf/power7-pmu.o
| text data bss dec hex filename
| 14451 31112 0 45563 b1fb arch/powerpc/perf/power7-pmu.o
