Update the manual page to be a bit more sane. It still

may need some work, but at least now it will read properly.
(gnn you are still on the hook to help out with this
like you committed).

.Dt PMC_COUNTER_STUDY 1
.Os
.Sh NAME
.Nm pmc_counter_study
.Nd Perform various study's on a systems overall PMC's.
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Nm
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
The pmc_counter_study program is designed to run various tests against
your systems performance. There are roughly 20-22 canned tests that
setup specific PMC's and then run various formulas on the output information.
These formulas can be found in Intel documentation "Using Intel Vtune
amplifier xe on NNN Generation Intel Core Processors". The NNN is either
2nd, 3rd or 4th generation i.e. Sandy Bridge, Ivy Bridge and Haswell.
Currently the program only works on these three Intel processor types.
You can see the complete list of formula's by running the program
with the -H option. If you know a formula name you can run it by
typing -e name. If you know a name and want what the formula is you
can run the program with -e name -h and the program will not run but
it will tell you what that name will do (if known). The -T option can
be used to test all PMC's that are known to your system. When running a
test you will want to specify -m N where N is the number of 1 second samples
to collect and analize (it bounds the time the test runs). Finally for
those that have there own ideas on what formulas that you want to run
you can type your own formula in with -E "formula". The formula can
declare directly the PMC's by name or you can use an abbreviation
%NNN. To find out the abbreviations on your system you may run
pmc_counter_study -L and it will tell you each PMC name and the
abbreviation you can use. An example of a formula of your own might
be -E "FP_ASSIST.ANY / INST_RETIRED.ANY_P" <or short hand on Haswell>
-E " %176 / %150". You must have spaces between each entry and
you may use paraenthisis to prioritize the operators. Add (+), Subtract (-1),
Divide (/) and Multiplication (*) is supported. You may also introduce
constant numbers as well. So for example you can do a standard efficency
test like -E "UOPS_RETIRED.RETIRE_SLOTS / (4 * CPU_CLK_UNHALTED.THREAD_P)".

.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
program is designed to run various tests against your systems
performance. There are roughly 20-22 canned tests that setup specific
PMC's and then run various formulas on the output information.
These formulas can be found in Intel documentation "Using Intel Vtune
amplifier xe on NNN Generation Intel Core Processors". The NNN is either
2nd, 3rd or 4th generation i.e. Sandy Bridge, Ivy Bridge and Haswell.
Currently the program only works on these three Intel processor types.
.Sh OPTIONS
The following options are available:
.Bl -tag -width indent
.It Fl i Ar filename
If this option is supplied, instead of running a
.Xr pmcstat 8
command to collecte the current running information the filename will be read
in as input instead.
.It Fl H
This option will display the complete list of canned formulas that can be run including
there names which can be input to the
.Fl e
option.
.It Fl e Ar name
Execute the canned test
.Ar name
on the running kernel.
.It Fl h
If you add this option to the
.Fl e
option the test will not execute but instead give you a small description
of the test that would run.
.It Fl T
This option will execute a test of every PMC to validate that they are working
on your system. If a PMC does not show up in this test chances
are the kernel hwpmc driver needs updating with new PMC information.
.It Fl m Ar num
This option can restrict the number of one second samples that will
be collected by your system when running a test (it bounds the
time the test will run). Without this option the test will run
for 1024 seconds or until the user types ctrl-c.
.It Fl v
The verbose option adds debugging output to the command.
.It Fl E Ar expression
This option can be used by those that have there own ideas
on what formulas that you want to run. The expression given to
the
.Fl E
option is a "formula". The formula can declare directly the PMC's by name
or you can use an abbreviation %NNN. To find out the abbreviations
on your system you may run the
.Fl L
option.
An example of a formula of your own might be
.Fl E
"FP_ASSIST.ANY / INST_RETIRED.ANY_P" or using the abbreviations on a
Haswell machine you would type
.Fl E
" %176 / %150". You must have spaces between each entry and
you may use paraenthisis to prioritize the operators. Add (+), Subtract (-),
Divide (/) and Multiplication (*) are supported. You may also introduce
constant numbers as well. So for example you can do a standard efficency
test like
.FL E
"UOPS_RETIRED.RETIRE_SLOTS / (4 * CPU_CLK_UNHALTED.THREAD_P)".
.It Fl L
This option will list all known PMC's and there abbreviation (%NNN).
