NAME
pmc.ivybridgexeon - measurement events for Intel Ivy Bridge Xeon family
CPUs
LIBRARY
Performance Counters Library (libpmc, -lpmc)
SYNOPSIS
#include <pmc.h>
DESCRIPTION
Intel Ivy Bridge Xeon CPUs contain PMCs conforming to version 2 of the
Intel performance measurement architecture. These CPUs may contain up to
three 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 Ivy Bridge Xeon PMCs are documented in Intel(R) 64 and IA-32
Architectures Software Developer's Manual, Order Number: 325462-045US,
Intel Corporation, January 2013.

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.
