[PATCH] perf/x86: export Sandy Bridge uncore clockticks event insysfs

From: Stephane Eranian
Date: Wed Aug 29 2012 - 09:01:19 EST



This patch exports the clockticks event and its encoding to user level.
The clockticks event was exported for Nehalem/Westmere but not for Sandy
Bridge (client). Given that it uses a special encoding, it needs to be
exported to user tools, so users can do:

# perf stat -a -C 0 -e uncore_cbox_0/clockticks/ sleep 1
