From 8b8ff8cc3b8155c18162e8b1f70e1230db176862 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Adrian Hunter Date: Tue, 7 Sep 2021 19:39:01 +0300 Subject: perf/x86: Add new event for AUX output counter index PEBS-via-PT records contain a mask of applicable counters. To identify which event belongs to which counter, a side-band event is needed. Until now, there has been no side-band event, and consequently users were limited to using a single event. Add such a side-band event. Note the event is optimised to output only when the counter index changes for an event. That works only so long as all PEBS-via-PT events are scheduled together, which they are for a recording session because they are in a single group. Also no attribute bit is used to select the new event, so a new kernel is not compatible with older perf tools. The assumption being that PEBS-via-PT is sufficiently esoteric that users will not be troubled by this.
