[PATCH 1/1] perf tools: Add missing user space support for config1/config2
From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Date: Thu Apr 21 2011 - 13:41:15 EST
From: Andi Kleen <ak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
The offcore_msr perf kernel code was merged into 2.6.39-rc*, but the
user space bits were not. This made it impossible to set the extra mask
and actually do the OFFCORE profiling
This patch fixes this. It adds a new syntax ':' to raw events to specify
additional event masks. I also added support for setting config2, even
though that is not needed currently.
[Note: the original version back in time used , -- but that actually
conflicted with event lists, so now it's :]

+Some raw events -- like the Intel OFFCORE events -- support additional

+For example on a multi socket Intel Nehalem:
