Sorry for the slow response, I was trying to understand this patch in
relation to the PMU aliases to see if there was an overlap - I'm still
not sure. This is now merged so I'm just commenting wrt possible
future cleanup. I defer to the maintainers on how this should be
organized. At the metric level, this problem reminds me of both
#smt_on and LLC_MISSES.PCIE_WRITE on cascade lake. #smt_on adds a
degree of CPU specific behavior to an expression.
LLC_MISSES.PCIE_WRITE uses .part0 ... part3 to combine separate but
related counters.
The symbols that the metrics parse are then passed to parse-event. You
don't change parse-event as metricgroup replaces the '?' with a read
value from /devices/hv_24x7/interface/sockets, actually 0 to that
value-1 are passed.
It seems unfortunate to overload the meaning of runtime with a value
read from /devices/hv_24x7/interface/sockets and plumbing this value
around is quite a bit of noise for everything but this use-case. I
kind of wish we could do something like:
for i in 0, read("/devices/hv_24x7/interface/sockets"):
hv_24x7/pm_pb_cyc,chip=$i
in the metric code. I have some patches to send related to metric
groups and I think this will be an active area of development for a
while as I think there are some open questions on the organization of
the code.
Thanks,
Ian
