[PATCH 19/31] perf, x86: Support for printing PMU state on spurious PMIs v2

From: Andi Kleen
Date: Tue Oct 02 2012 - 19:50:13 EST


From: Andi Kleen <ak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

I had some problems with spurious PMIs, so print the PMU state
on a spurious one. This will not interact well with other NMI users.
Disabled by default, has to be explicitely enabled through sysfs.

Optional, but useful for debugging.

v2: Move to /sys/devices/cpu
