[PATCH 03/10] Use pmu_events_map table to create event aliases

Sukadev Bhattiprolu sukadev at linux.vnet.ibm.com
Thu May 28 07:23:22 AEST 2015


At run time, (i.e when perf is starting up), locate the specific events
table for the current CPU and create event aliases for each of the events.

Use these aliases to parse user's specified perf event.

Changelog[v2]
	[Andi Kleen] Replace the pmu_events_map->vfm field with a simple
		generic "cpuid" string and use that string to find the
		matching mapfile entry.
