From: Ingo Molnar Date: Thu, 28 Apr 2011 09:16:44 +0000 (+0200) Subject: perf event, x86: Use better stalled cycles metric X-Git-Tag: v3.0-rc1~404^2~11^2~12 X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=8a850cadca0e387c87a0911a61e99fd66aeb57ec;p=platform%2Fkernel%2Flinux-3.10.git perf event, x86: Use better stalled cycles metric Use the UOPS_EXECUTED.*,c=1,i=1 event on Intel CPUs - it is a rather good indicator of CPU execution stalls, more sensitive and more inclusive than the 0xa2 resource stalls event (which does not count nearly as many stall types).
