Title: perf: POWER8: Allow specifying Power PMU events by name rather than raw codes Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in linux source package in Zesty: Fix Released Bug description: == Comment: #0 - Sukadev Bhattiprolu <[email protected]> - 2015-10-19 20:45:40 == Power processor provides the ability to monitor a large number of Performance Monitoring events. However the linux kernel/perf tool requires that a vast majority of these events be specified by their raw codes: perf stat -e r100f2 sleep 1 We would instead like to be able to specify the events by its name: perf stat -e pm_1plus_ppc_cmpl sleep 1 where the event name name 'pm_1plus_ppc_cmpl' is defined in the POWER PMU specs == Comment: #1 - Sukadev Bhattiprolu 2015-10-27 13:43:20 == Here is a pointer to a newer version of the patch set: https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/10/26/624 == Comment: #10 - Sukadev Bhattiprolu - 2016-03-01 13:50:37 == (In reply to comment #9) > any change in upstream status? If not, should we re-target this to 16.04.1 > and 16.10? No, no comments yet from maintainer, so patches still stuck. Yes we could re-target to 16.10 for now.
