[PATCH] perf stat: Add support for s390 transaction counters

From: Thomas Richter
Date: Mon Mar 12 2018 - 06:38:25 EST


This patch introduces support for s390 transaction counters
displayed with command 'perf stat -T -- sleep 2'

Right now there is only hard coded support for x86.

This patch introduces architecture specfic counter
tables for x86 and s390. The architecture is queried
and the event string for transaction counters is constructed
depending on the architecture and the CPU measurement
facility counter list.

Output Before:
[root@s35lp76 perf]# perf stat -T -- sleep 1
Cannot set up transaction events
[root@s35lp76 perf]#

Output after:
[root@s35lp76 perf]# ./perf stat -T -- sleep 1

Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1':

0.939985 task-clock (msec) # 0.001 CPUs utilized
2,557,145 instructions # 0.53 insn per cycle
4,785,929 cycles # 5.091 GHz
0 cpum_cf/TX_C_TABORT_NO_SPECIAL/ # 0.000 K/sec
0 cpum_cf/TX_C_TABORT_SPECIAL/ # 0.000 K/sec
0 cpum_cf/TX_C_TEND/ # 0.000 K/sec
0 cpum_cf/TX_NC_TABORT/ # 0.000 K/sec
0 cpum_cf/TX_NC_TEND/ # 0.000 K/sec

1.001934710 seconds time elapsed

[root@s35lp76 perf]#

Output on x86 is unchanged.
