perf/x86: Make hardware event translations available in sysfs
Add support to display hardware events translations available
through the sysfs. Add 'events' group attribute under the sysfs
x86 PMU record with attribute/file for each hardware event.
This patch adds only backbone for PMUs to display config under
'events' directory. The specific PMU support itself will come
in next patches, however this is how the sysfs group will look
like:
# ls /sys/devices/cpu/events/
branch-instructions
branch-misses
bus-cycles
cache-misses
cache-references
cpu-cycles
instructions
ref-cycles
stalled-cycles-backend
stalled-cycles-frontend
The file - hw event ID mapping is:
file hw event ID
---------------------------------------------------------------
cpu-cycles PERF_COUNT_HW_CPU_CYCLES
instructions PERF_COUNT_HW_INSTRUCTIONS
cache-references PERF_COUNT_HW_CACHE_REFERENCES
cache-misses PERF_COUNT_HW_CACHE_MISSES
branch-instructions PERF_COUNT_HW_BRANCH_INSTRUCTIONS
branch-misses PERF_COUNT_HW_BRANCH_MISSES
bus-cycles PERF_COUNT_HW_BUS_CYCLES
stalled-cycles-frontend PERF_COUNT_HW_STALLED_CYCLES_FRONTEND
stalled-cycles-backend PERF_COUNT_HW_STALLED_CYCLES_BACKEND
ref-cycles PERF_COUNT_HW_REF_CPU_CYCLES
Each file in the 'events' directory contains the term translation
for the symbolic hw event for the currently running cpu model.
# cat /sys/devices/cpu/events/stalled-cycles-backend
event=0xb1,umask=0x01,inv,cmask=0x01
