NAME
pmc.atom - measurement events for Intel Atom family CPUs
LIBRARY
Performance Counters Library (libpmc, -lpmc)
SYNOPSIS
#include <pmc.h>
DESCRIPTION
Intel Atom CPUs contain PMCs conforming to version 3 of the Intel
performance measurement architecture. These CPUs contains two classes of
PMCs:
PMC_CLASS_IAF Fixed-function counters that count only one hardware
event per counter.
PMC_CLASS_IAP Programmable counters that may be configured to count
one of a defined set of hardware events.
The number of PMCs available in each class and their widths need to be
determined at run time by calling pmc_cpuinfo(3).
Intel Atom PMCs are documented in Volume 3: System Programming Guide,
IA-32 Intel(R) Architecture Software Developer's Manual, Order Number
253669-027US, Intel Corporation, July 2008.
ATOM FIXED FUNCTION PMCS
These PMCs and their supported events are documented in pmc.iaf(3).
ATOM PROGRAMMABLE PMCS
The programmable PMCs support the following capabilities:
Capability Support
PMC_CAP_CASCADE No
PMC_CAP_EDGE Yes
PMC_CAP_INTERRUPT Yes
PMC_CAP_INVERT Yes
PMC_CAP_READ Yes
PMC_CAP_PRECISE No

Event Qualifiers
Event specifiers for these PMCs support the following common qualifiers:
any Count matching events seen on any logical processor in a package.
cmask=value
Configure the PMC to increment only if the number of configured
events measured in a cycle is greater than or equal to value.
edge Configure the PMC to count the number of de-asserted to asserted
transitions of the conditions expressed by the other qualifiers.
If specified, the counter will increment only once whenever a
condition becomes true, irrespective of the number of clocks
during which the condition remains true.
inv Invert the sense of comparison when the "cmask" qualifier is
present, making the counter increment when the number of events
per cycle is less than the value specified by the "cmask"
qualifier.
os Configure the PMC to count events happening at processor
privilege level 0.
usr Configure the PMC to count events occurring at privilege levels
1, 2 or 3.
If neither of the "os" or "usr" qualifiers are specified, the default is
to enable both.
Events that require core-specificity to be specified use a additional
qualifier "core=core", where argument core is one of:
all Measure event conditions on all cores.
this Measure event conditions on this core.
The default is "this".
Events that require an agent qualifier to be specified use an additional
qualifier "agent=agent", where argument agent is one of:
this Measure events associated with this bus agent.
any Measure events caused by any bus agent.
The default is "this".
Events that require a hardware prefetch qualifier to be specified use an
additional qualifier "prefetch=prefetch", where argument prefetch is one
of:
both Include all prefetches.
only Only count hardware prefetches.
exclude Exclude hardware prefetches.
The default is "both".
Events that require a cache coherence qualifier to be specified use an
additional qualifier "cachestate=state", where argument state contains
one or more of the following letters:
e Count cache lines in the exclusive state.
i Count cache lines in the invalid state.
m Count cache lines in the modified state.
s Count cache lines in the shared state.
The default is "eims".
Events that require a snoop response qualifier to be specified use an
additional qualifier "snoopresponse=response", where argument response
comprises of the following keywords separated by "+" signs:
clean Measure CLEAN responses.
hit Measure HIT responses.
hitm Measure HITM responses.
The default is to measure all the above responses.
Events that require a snoop type qualifier use an additional qualifier
"snooptype=type", where argument type comprises the one of the following
keywords:
cmp2i Measure CMP2I snoops.
cmp2s Measure CMP2S snoops.
The default is to measure both snoops.
