From e717bf4e4fe8adc519f25c4ff93ee50ed0a36710 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vince Weaver Date: Wed, 26 Sep 2012 14:12:52 -0400 Subject: perf/x86: Add support for Intel Xeon-Phi Knights Corner PMU The following patch adds perf_event support for the Xeon-Phi PMU, as documented in the "Intel Xeon Phi Coprocessor (codename: Knights Corner) Performance Monitoring Units" manual. Even though it is a co-processor, a Phi runs a full Linux environment and can support performance counters. This is just barebones support, it does not add support for interesting new features such as the SPFLT intruction that allows starting/stopping events without entering the kernel. The PMU internally is just like that of an original Pentium, but a "P6-like" MSR interface is provided. The interface is different enough from a real P6 that it's not easy (or practical) to re-use the code in perf_event_p6.c Acked-by: Lawrence F Meadows Acked-by: Cyrill Gorcunov Signed-off-by: Vince Weaver Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Paul Mackerras Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Cc: eranian@gmail.com Cc: Lawrence F Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/alpine.DEB.2.02.1209261405320.8398@vincent-weaver-1.um.maine.edu Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar --- arch/x86/kernel/cpu/perf_event_intel.c | 2 ++ 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+) (limited to 'arch/x86/kernel/cpu/perf_event_intel.c') diff --git a/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/perf_event_intel.c b/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/perf_event_intel.c index 6bca492b854..324bb523d9d 100644 --- a/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/perf_event_intel.c +++ b/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/perf_event_intel.c @@ -1906,6 +1906,8 @@ __init int intel_pmu_init(void) switch (boot_cpu_data.x86) { case 0x6: return p6_pmu_init(); + case 0xb: + return knc_pmu_init(); case 0xf: return p4_pmu_init(); } -- cgit v1.2.3-70-g09d2
