hi,
this is just a follow up question.. Miachel's original report
was that he could not stat following event:
$ perf stat -e unc_p_freq_ge_1200mhz_cycles -a -- ls
event syntax error: '..e_1200mhz_cycles'
\___ value too big for format, maximum is 255
Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events
The event is unwrapped into:
uncore_pcu/event=0xb,filter_band0=1200/
where filter_band0 format says it's one byte only:
[root@intel-lizardhead-01 uncore_pcu]# cat format/filter_band0
config1:0-7
while json files specifies bigger number:
"Filter": "filter_band0=1200",
[root@intel-lizardhead-01 uncore_pcu]# cat format/filter_band1
config1:8-15
[root@intel-lizardhead-01 uncore_pcu]# cat format/filter_band2
config1:16-23
[root@intel-lizardhead-01 uncore_pcu]# cat format/filter_band3
config1:24-31
The reason seems to be that filter_band* values are
supposed to be in 100Mhz units.. it's stated in the
json help for the events, like:
filter_band3=XXX, with XXX in 100Mhz units
Attached change and the original patch fix the problem
problem for me, but Intel guys might have already some
update on that.. and I have no way on checking on this
other than the help message I found.. hence the RFC ;-)
also there might be more of those..
note there's couple of changes that actually changed
the number completely, like:
- "Filter": "edge=1,filter_band2=4000",
+ "Filter": "edge=1,filter_band2=30",
thanks,
jirka
