[PATCH 16/31] perf, x86: Support weight samples for PEBS

From: Andi Kleen
Date: Tue Oct 02 2012 - 19:54:28 EST


From: Andi Kleen <ak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

When a weighted sample is requested, first try to report the TSX abort cost
on Haswell. If that is not available report the memory latency. This
allows profiling both by abort cost and by memory latencies.

Memory latencies requires enabling a different PEBS mode (LL).
When both address and weight is requested address wins.

The LL mode only works for memory related PEBS events, so add a
separate event constraint table for those.

I only did this for Haswell for now, but it could be added
for several other Intel CPUs too by just adding the right
table for them.
