From 066d7dea32c9bffe6decc0abe465627656cdd84e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ingo Molnar Date: Mon, 4 May 2009 19:04:09 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] perf_counter: fix fixed-purpose counter support on v2 Intel-PERFMON Fixed-purpose counters stopped working in a simple 'perf stat ls' run: cache references cache misses Due to: ef7b3e0: perf_counter, x86: remove vendor check in fixed_mode_idx() Which made x86_pmu.num_counters_fixed matter: if it's nonzero, the fixed-purpose counters are utilized. But on v2 perfmon this field is not set (despite there being fixed-purpose PMCs). So add a quirk to set the number of fixed-purpose counters to at least three.
