perf/x86: Use INST_RETIRED.TOTAL_CYCLES_PS for cycles:pp for Skylake
I added UOPS_RETIRED.ALL by mistake to the Skylake PEBS event list for cycles:pp. But the event is not documented for Skylake, and has some issues. The recommended replacement for cycles:pp is to use INST_RETIRED.ANY+pebs as a base, similar to what CPUs before Sandy Bridge did. This new event is called INST_RETIRED.TOTAL_CYCLES_PS. The event is not really new, but has been already used by perf before Sandy Bridge for the original cycles:p Note the SDM doesn't document that event either, but it's being documented in the latest version of the event list on: https://download.01.org/perfmon/SKL This patch does: - Remove UOPS_RETIRED.ALL from the Skylake PEBS event list - Add INST_RETIRED.ANY to the Skylake PEBS event list, and an table entry to allow cmask=16,inv=1 for cycles:pp - We don't need an extra entry for the base INST_RETIRED event, because it is already covered by the catch-all PEBS table entry. - Switch Skylake to use the Core2 PEBS alias (which is INST_RETIRED.TOTAL_CYCLES_PS) Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: Vince Weaver <vincent.weaver@maine.edu> Cc: hpa@zytor.com Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1448929689-13771-1-git-send-email-andi@firstfloor.org Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>
