Hi,

I am using perfmon on Intel Core 2 Quad CPU Q6600 and trying to read event 
counters for L2 cache, such as, L2_LINES_IN, L2_IFETCH etc. I found the names 
of the events using pfm_get_event_name() function. But when I specify "L2_ST" 
in the pfm_find_full_event() to initiate the counters, it shows the error 
message:
 "event invalid or missing unit mask". 

How can I find the unit mask for an event? I have used the function 
pfm_find_event_mask(), but it is still showing the error message "event 
invalid".

Although the pfm_get_event_name()  function tells that L2 caches events are 
supported, are there any reasons why it is showing the error message?

Can you help?

Thanks
Tanima.
