This is the first step in recognizing that the K8 microarchitecture represents a small and aged subset of AMD CPUs supported by this class. Future changes will update the code and documentation details to better reflect this. Keep the old filename as an alias.

|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
AMD K8 PMCs are present in the
|
|
.Tn "AMD Athlon64"
|
|
and
|
|
.Tn "AMD Opteron"
|
|
series of CPUs.
|
|
They are documented in the
|

.Rs
|
|
.%B "BIOS and Kernel Developer's Guide for the AMD Athlon(tm) 64 and AMD Opteron Processors"

.Re

.Ss PMC Features
|
|
AMD K8 PMCs are 48 bits wide.
|
|
Each CPU contains 4 PMCs with the following capabilities:
|
|
.Bl -column "PMC_CAP_INTERRUPT" "Support"
|
|
.It Em Capability Ta Em Support
|
|
.It PMC_CAP_CASCADE Ta \&No
|
|
.It PMC_CAP_EDGE Ta Yes

|
|
.El
|
|
.Ss Event Qualifiers
|
|
Event specifiers for AMD K8 PMCs can have the following optional
|
|
qualifiers:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Li count= Ns Ar value
|
|
Configure the counter to increment only if the number of configured
|
|
events measured in a cycle is greater than or equal to
|
|
.Ar value .
|
|
.It Li edge
|
|
Configure the counter to only count negated-to-asserted transitions
|
|
of the conditions expressed by the other fields.
|
|
In other words, the counter will increment only once whenever a given
|
|
condition becomes true, irrespective of the number of clocks during
|
|
which the condition remains true.
|
|
.It Li inv
|
|
Invert the sense of comparison when the
|
|
.Dq Li count
|
|
qualifier is present, making the counter to increment when the
|
|
number of events per cycle is less than the value specified by
|
|
the
|
|
.Dq Li count
|
|
qualifier.
|
|
.It Li mask= Ns Ar qualifier
|
|
Many event specifiers for AMD K8 PMCs need to be additionally
|
|
qualified using a mask qualifier.
|
|
These additional qualifiers are event-specific and are documented
|
|
along with their associated event specifiers below.
|
|
.It Li os
|
|
Configure the PMC to count events happening at privilege level 0.
|
|
.It Li usr
|
|
Configure the PMC to count events occurring at privilege levels 1, 2
|
|
or 3.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If neither of the
|
|
.Dq Li os
|
|
or
|
|
.Dq Li usr
|
|
qualifiers were specified, the default is to enable both.
|
|
