--- Begin Message ---Package: linux-tools-2.6.38 Version: 2.6.38-3 Severity: normal File: /usr/bin/perf_2.6.38 Event types listed by "perf list" can't be used for profiling (at least on my system). My expectation was that "perf list" would list only events I could actually use. For example, note how instructions are counted but not cycles, even though I ask for both: " johan@johansdator:~$ perf list|cat List of pre-defined events (to be used in -e): cpu-cycles OR cycles [Hardware event] instructions [Hardware event] cache-references [Hardware event] cache-misses [Hardware event] branch-instructions OR branches [Hardware event] branch-misses [Hardware event] bus-cycles [Hardware event] [...] johan@johansdator:~$ sudo perf stat -e cycles -e instructions echo foo foo Performance counter stats for 'echo foo': <not counted> cycles 823 105 instructions # 0,000 IPC " Regards //Johan -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.38-2-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=sv_SE.utf8, LC_CTYPE=sv_SE.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages linux-tools-2.6.38 depends on: ii libc6 2.11.2-11 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libdw1 0.152-1 library that provides access to th ii libelf1 0.152-1 library to read and write ELF file ii libnewt0.52 0.52.11-2 Not Erik's Windowing Toolkit - tex ii libperl5.10 5.10.1-19 shared Perl library ii libpython2.6 2.6.6-8+b1 Shared Python runtime library (ver ii libslang2 2.2.2-4 The S-Lang programming library - r ii perl 5.10.1-19 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii python 2.6.6-12 interactive high-level object-orie ii python-support 1.0.11 automated rebuilding support for P Versions of packages linux-tools-2.6.38 recommends: ii linux-base 3.2 Linux image base package Versions of packages linux-tools-2.6.38 suggests: pn linux-doc-2.6.38 <none> (no description available) -- no debconf information
