NAME
pmc.haswelluc -- uncore measurement events for Intel Haswell family CPUs LIBRARY
Performance Counters Library (libpmc, -lpmc) SYNOPSIS
#include <pmc.h> DESCRIPTION
Intel Haswell CPUs contain PMCs conforming to version 3 of the Intel performance measurement architecture. These CPUs contain two classes of PMCs: PMC_CLASS_UCF Fixed-function counters that count only one hardware event per counter. PMC_CLASS_UCP Programmable counters that may be configured to count one of a defined set of hardware events. The number of PMCs available in each class and their widths need to be determined at run time by calling pmc_cpuinfo(3). Intel Haswell PMCs are documented in "Combined Volumes: 1, 2A, 2B, 2C, 3A, 3B and 3C", Intel(R) 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developers Manual, Order Number: 325462-045US, Intel Corporation, January 2013. HASWELL UNCORE FIXED FUNCTION PMCS These PMCs and their supported events are documented in pmc.ucf(3). Not all CPUs in this family implement fixed-function counters. HASWELL UNCORE PROGRAMMABLE PMCS The programmable PMCs support the following capabilities: Capability Support PMC_CAP_CASCADE No PMC_CAP_EDGE Yes PMC_CAP_INTERRUPT No PMC_CAP_INVERT Yes PMC_CAP_READ Yes PMC_CAP_PRECISE No PMC_CAP_SYSTEM No PMC_CAP_TAGGING No PMC_CAP_THRESHOLD Yes PMC_CAP_USER No PMC_CAP_WRITE Yes Event Qualifiers Event specifiers for these PMCs support the following common qualifiers: cmask=value Configure the PMC to increment only if the number of configured events measured in a cycle is greater than or equal to value. edge Configure the PMC to count the number of de-asserted to asserted transitions of the conditions expressed by the other qualifiers. If specified, the counter will increment only once whenever a condition becomes true, irrespective of the number of clocks during which the condition remains true. inv Invert the sense of comparison when the ``cmask'' qualifier is present, making the counter increment when the number of events per cycle is less than the value specified by the ``cmask'' qualifier. Event Specifiers (Programmable PMCs) Haswell programmable PMCs support the following events: UNC_CBO_XSNP_RESPONSE.MISS (Event 22H, Umask 01H) A snoop misses in some processor core. UNC_CBO_XSNP_RESPONSE.INVAL (Event 22H, Umask 02H) A snoop invalidates a non-modified line in some processor core. UNC_CBO_XSNP_RESPONSE.HIT (Event 22H, Umask 04H) A snoop hits a non-modified line in some processor core. UNC_CBO_XSNP_RESPONSE.HITM (Event 22H, Umask 08H) A snoop hits a modified line in some processor core. UNC_CBO_XSNP_RESPONSE.INVAL_M (Event 22H, Umask 10H) A snoop invalidates a modified line in some processor core. UNC_CBO_XSNP_RESPONSE.EXTERNAL_FILTER (Event 22H, Umask 20H) Filter on cross-core snoops initiated by this Cbox due to external snoop request. UNC_CBO_XSNP_RESPONSE.XCORE_FILTER (Event 22H, Umask 40H) Filter on cross-core snoops initiated by this Cbox due to processor core memory request. UNC_CBO_XSNP_RESPONSE.EVICTION_FILTER (Event 22H, Umask 80H) Filter on cross-core snoops initiated by this Cbox due to LLC eviction. UNC_CBO_CACHE_LOOKUP.M (Event 34H, Umask 01H) LLC lookup request that access cache and found line in M-state. UNC_CBO_CACHE_LOOKUP.ES (Event 34H, Umask 06H) LLC lookup request that access cache and found line in E or S state. UNC_CBO_CACHE_LOOKUP.I (Event 34H, Umask 08H) LLC lookup request that access cache and found line in I-state. UNC_CBO_CACHE_LOOKUP.READ_FILTER (Event 34H, Umask 10H) Filter on processor core initiated cacheable read requests. Must combine with at least one of 01H, 02H, 04H, 08H. UNC_CBO_CACHE_LOOKUP.WRITE_FILTER (Event 34H, Umask 20H) Filter on processor core initiated cacheable write requests. Must combine with at least one of 01H, 02H, 04H, 08H. UNC_CBO_CACHE_LOOKUP.EXTSNP_FILTER (Event 34H, Umask 40H) Filter on external snoop requests. Must combine with at least one of 01H, 02H, 04H, 08H. UNC_CBO_CACHE_LOOKUP.ANY_REQUEST_FILTER (Event 34H, Umask 80H) Filter on any IRQ or IPQ initiated requests including uncacheable, non-coherent requests. Must combine with at least one of 01H, 02H, 04H, 08H. UNC_ARB_TRK_OCCUPANCY.ALL (Event 80H, Umask 01H) Counts cycles weighted by the number of requests waiting for data returning from the memory controller. Accounts for coherent and non-coherent requests initiated by IA cores, processor graphic units, or LLC. UNC_ARB_TRK_REQUEST.ALL (Event 81H, Umask 01H) Counts the number of coherent and in-coherent requests initiated by IA cores, processor graphic units, or LLC. UNC_ARB_TRK_REQUEST.WRITES (Event 81H, Umask 20H) Counts the number of allocated write entries, include full, partial, and LLC evictions. UNC_ARB_TRK_REQUEST.EVICTIONS (Event 81H, Umask 80H) Counts the number of LLC evictions allocated. UNC_ARB_COH, Umask TRK_OCCUPANCY.ALL (Event 83H, Umask 01H) Cycles weighted by number of requests pending in Coherency Tracker. UNC_ARB_COH, Umask TRK_REQUEST.ALL (Event 84H, Umask 01H) Number of requests allocated in Coherency Tracker. SEE ALSO
