Hello, I am working with POWER6 and I would like to use PMC5 and PMC6. I looked at the kernel patch and it seems everything is implemented and ready for PMC5/6 to work OK. However, it seems that libpfm (I am using version 3.8) is not supporting those virtual registers yet.
The problem comes when pfm_dispatch_events() is called, since there is no way to set PM_INST_CMPL on PMC5 and PM_RUN_CYC on PMC6. I modified a bit the code in power6_events.h so both PM_INST_CMPL and PM_RUN_CYC are mapped to PMC5 and PMC6. In fact it worked for some of the event combinations, but I do not understand some parts of the implementation, so it was not always working. My question is whether there is already some way to access PMC5 and PMC6 that I am not aware of. If it is not possible yet, are there any plans to fix this?
