LIBPFM(3) Linux Programmer's Manual LIBPFM(3)NAMElibpfm_intel_core - support for Intel Core-based processors
SYNOPSIS
#include <perfmon/pfmlib.h>
PMU name: core
PMU desc: Intel Core
DESCRIPTION
The library supports all Intel Core-based processors that includes mod‐
els 15, 23, 29.
MODIFIERS
The following modifiers are supported on Intel Core processors:
u Measure at user level which includes privilege levels 1, 2, 3.
This corresponds to PFM_PLM3. This is a boolean modifier.
k Measure at kernel level which includes privilege level 0. This
corresponds to PFM_PLM0. This is a boolean modifier.
i Invert the meaning of the event. The counter will now count
cycles in which the event is not occurring. This is a boolean
modifier
e Enable edge detection, i.e., count only when there is a state
transition from no occurrence of the event to at least one
occurrence. This modifier must be combined with a counter mask
modifier (m) with a value greater or equal to one. This is a
boolean modifier.
c Set the counter mask value. The mask acts as a threshold. The
counter will count the number of cycles in which the number of
occurrences of the event is greater or equal to the threshold.
This is an integer modifier with values in the range [0:255].
