[PATCH V2 1/1] perf, x86: bug fix for cycles:p and cycles:pp on SLM

From: kan . liang
Date: Mon Jan 12 2015 - 12:42:00 EST


From: Kan Liang <kan.liang@xxxxxxxxx>

cycles:p and cycles:pp do not work on SLM since
86a04461a99f ("perf/x86: Revamp PEBS event selection")

UOPS_RETIRED.ALL is not a PEBS capable event, so it should not be used
to count cycle number.
Actually SLM call intel_pebs_aliases_core2 which uses INST_RETIRED.ANY_P
counts the number of cycles. It's a PEBS capable event. But inv and
cmask must be set to count cycles.
Considering SLM allows all events as PEBS with no flags, here only
INST_RETIRED.ANY_P, inv=1, cmask=16 need to specially handled.
