I might be wrong, but when I look at function add_default_attributes()
in file buildin-stat.c the string variables transaction_attrs
and transaction_limited_attrs are used when flag T is specified on command line:
/* Default events used for perf stat -T */
static const char *transaction_attrs = {
"task-clock,"
"{"
"instructions,"
"cycles,"
"cpu/cycles-t/,"
"cpu/tx-start/,"
"cpu/el-start/,"
"cpu/cycles-ct/"
"}"
};
These PMU events show up on my x86 notebook but no on the s390.
That's why I came to this conclusion. I have not tried other architectures.
