[PATCH 3/3] perf-events: Fix LLC-* events on Intel Nehalem/Westmere

From: Andi Kleen
Date: Thu Nov 11 2010 - 11:15:51 EST


From: Andi Kleen <ak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The generic perf LLC-* events do count the L2 caches, not the real
L3 LLC on Intel Nehalem and Westmere. This lead to quite some confusion.

Fixing this properly requires use of the special OFFCORE_RESPONSE
events which need a separate mask register. This has been implemented
in a earlier patch.

Now use this infrastructure to set correct events for the LLC-*
on Nehalem and Westmere
