PMC.SANDYBRIDGEUC(3)   FreeBSD Library Functions Manual   PMC.SANDYBRIDGEUC(3)

NAME
     pmc.sandybridgeuc - uncore measurement events for Intel Sandy Bridge
     family CPUs

LIBRARY
     Performance Counters Library (libpmc, -lpmc)

SYNOPSIS
     #include <pmc.h>

DESCRIPTION
     Intel Sandy Bridge CPUs contain PMCs conforming to version 3 of the Intel
     performance measurement architecture.  These CPUs contain two classes of
     PMCs:

     PMC_CLASS_UCF     Fixed-function counters that count only one hardware
                       event per counter.

     PMC_CLASS_UCP     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 Sandy Bridge PMCs are documented in Volume 3B: System Programming
     Guide, Part 2, Intel(R) 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developers
     Manual, Order Number: 253669-039US, Intel Corporation, May 2011.

   SANDYBRIDGE UNCORE FIXED FUNCTION PMCS
     These PMCs and their supported events are documented in pmc.ucf(3).  Not
     all CPUs in this family implement fixed-function counters.

   SANDYBRIDGE UNCORE PROGRAMMABLE PMCS
     The programmable PMCs support the following capabilities:

     Capability           Support
     PMC_CAP_CASCADE      No
     PMC_CAP_EDGE         Yes
     PMC_CAP_INTERRUPT    No
     PMC_CAP_INVERT       Yes
     PMC_CAP_READ         Yes
     PMC_CAP_PRECISE      No
     PMC_CAP_SYSTEM       No
     PMC_CAP_TAGGING      No
     PMC_CAP_THRESHOLD    Yes
     PMC_CAP_USER         No
     PMC_CAP_WRITE        Yes

   Event Qualifiers
     Event specifiers for these PMCs support the following common qualifiers:

     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.
