# 259065 07-Dec-2013 gjb

- Copy stable/10 (r259064) to releng/10.0 as part of the
10.0-RELEASE cycle.
- Update __FreeBSD_version [1]
- Set branch name to -RC1

[1] 10.0-CURRENT __FreeBSD_version value ended at '55', so
start releng/10.0 at '100' so the branch is started with
a value ending in zero.

# 254824 25-Aug-2013 adrian

Update the MEM_UOP_RETIRED PMC operation for sandy bridge and sandy
bridge Xeon.

Summary: These are PEBS events but they're also available as normal
counter/sample events. The source table (Table 19-2) lists the
base versions (LOAD, STLB_MISS, SPLIT, ALL) but it says they must
be qualified with other values. This particular commit fleshes
out those umask values.

Source:

* Linux; SDM June 2013, Volume 3B, Table 19-2 and 18-21.

Tested:

* Sandy Bridge (non-Xeon)


# 254476 18-Aug-2013 adrian

Add in missing events for Sandy Bridge Xeon.

* Add in MEM_LOAD_UOPS_LLC_HIT_RETIRED for both sandy bridge and sandy
bridge Xeon. Right now it only is enabled for Sandy Bridge.
* D2/0F is actually a combination rather than a separate counter, so
just flip that on for the CPU types that support it.

There's an errata for using this on SB Xeon hardware - I've documented
it in kern/181346.

Tested:

* Sandy Bridge
* Sandy Bridge Xeon

# 250182 02-May-2013 davide

Suppress a GCC warning. This warning is actually bogus and newer GCC
versions than the one in base (dim@ mentioned he tried on 4.7.3 and 4.8.1)
do not whine about it, so, at some point this workaround will be reverted.

# 250103 30-Apr-2013 davide

The Intel PMC architectural events have encodings which are identical to
those of some non-architectural core events. This is not a problem in the
general case as long as there's an 1:1 mapping between the two, but there
are few exceptions. For example, 3CH_01H on Nehalem/Westmere represents
both unhalted-reference-cycles and CPU_CLK_UNHALTED.REF_P.
CPU_CLK_UNHALTED.REF_P on the aforementioned architectures does not measure
reference (i.e. bus) but TSC, so there's the need to disambiguate.
In order to avoid the namespace collision rename all the architectural
events in a way they cannot be ambigous and refactor the architectural
events handling function to reflect this change.
While here, per Jim Harris request, rename
iap_architectural_event_is_unsupported() to iap_event_is_architectural().

Simultaneous usage of software PMC and hardware PMC is possible, for example
looking at the lock acquire failure, page fault while sampling on

Adjust the handling of the local APIC PMC interrupt vector:
- Provide lapic_disable_pmc(), lapic_enable_pmc(), and lapic_reenable_pmc()
routines in the local APIC code that the hwpmc(4) driver can use to
manage the local APIC PMC interrupt vector.
- Do not enable the local APIC PMC interrupt vector by default when
HWPMC_HOOKS is enabled. Instead, the hwpmc(4) driver explicitly
enables the interrupt when it is succesfully initialized and disables
the interrupt when it is unloaded. This avoids enabling the interrupt
on unsupported CPUs which may result in spurious NMIs.

Fixes for Core2 Extreme support.

Submitted by: "Artem Belevich" <artemb at gmail dot com>


# 185363 27-Nov-2008 jkoshy

- Add support for PMCs in Intel CPUs of Family 6, model 0xE (Core Solo
and Core Duo), models 0xF (Core2), model 0x17 (Core2Extreme) and
model 0x1C (Atom).

In these CPUs, the actual numbers, kinds and widths of PMCs present
need to queried at run time. Support for specific "architectural"
events also needs to be queried at run time.

Model 0xE CPUs support programmable PMCs, subsequent CPUs
additionally support "fixed-function" counters.

- Use event names that are close to vendor documentation, taking in
account that:
- events with identical semantics on two or more CPUs in this family
can have differing names in vendor documentation,
- identical vendor event names may map to differing events across
CPUs,
- each type of CPU supports a different subset of measurable
events.

Fixed-function and programmable counters both use the same vendor
names for events. The use of a class name prefix ("iaf-" or
"iap-" respectively) permits these to be distinguished.

- In libpmc, refactor pmc_name_of_event() into a public interface
and an internal helper function, for use by log handling code.

- Minor code tweaks: staticize a global, freshen a few comments.
