Hi, Catalin
I have a question about the original document.
what is the exact meaning about the "memory" in
"ffc0 256GB memory"
Can I treat it as "kernel logical address space" ? Or maybe It can be
modified to “kernel” ？
It's relevant to my

hi, Rob,
Thanks for your suggestion, and It can be decided by the maintainer.
My suggestion is that non-english translations in the kernel source
can help the developer who use that language as mother language join

Currently, efi_pstore driver simply overwrites existing panic messages in NVRAM.
So, in the following scenario, we will lose 1st panic messages.

3. system reboots.

Haswell has two additional LBR from flags for TSX: intx and abort, implemented
as a new v4 version of the LBR format.
Handle those in and adjust the sign extension code to still correctly extend.
The flags are exported similarly in the LBR record to the existing misprediction

In the PEBS handler report the transaction flags using the new
generic transaction flags facility. Most of them come from
the "tsx_tuning" field in PEBSv2, but the abort code is derived
from the RAX register reported in the PEBS record.

The --sort documentation for top and report was hopelessly out-of-date
Instead of having two more places that would need to be updated,

Extend the perf branch sorting code to support sorting by intx
or abort qualifiers. Also print out those qualifiers.

This is not arch perfmon, but older CPUs will just ignore it. This makes
it possible to do at least some TSX measurements from a KVM guest

I had some problems with spurious PMIs, so print the PMU state

Recent Intel CPUs have a new alternative MSR range for perfctrs that allows
writing the full counter width. Enable this range if the hardware reports it
using a new capability bit. This lowers overhead of perf stat slightly because
it has to do less interrupts to accumulate the
From: Andi Kleen
Add support to perf stat to print the basic transactional execution statistics:
Total cycles, Cycles in Transaction, Cycles in aborted transsactions
using the intx and intx_checkpoint qualifiers.
Transaction Starts and Elision Starts, to compute the average transaction
length.

Add a precise qualifier, like cpu/event=0x3c,precise=1/
This is needed so that the kernel can request enabling PEBS
for TSX events. The parser bails out on any sysfs parse errors,
so this is needed in any case to handle any event on the TSX
perf kernel.

The callers of parse_events usually have their own error handling.
Move the fprintf for a bad event to parse_events_options, which
is the only one who should need it.

Add a generic qualifier for transaction events, as a new sample
type that returns a flag word. This is particularly useful
for qualifying aborts: to distinguish aborts which happen
due to asynchronous events (like conflicts caused by another
CPU) versus instructions that lead to

Add infrastructure to generate event aliases in /sys/devices/cpu/events/
And use this to set up user friendly aliases for the common TSX events.
TSX tuning relies heavily on the PMU, so it's important to be user friendly.
This replaces the generic transaction events in an

With checkpointed counters there can be a situation where the counter
is overflowing, aborts the transaction, is set back to a non overflowing
checkpoint, causes interupt. The interrupt doesn't see the overflow
because it has been checkpointed. This is then a spurious PMI,

When a weighted sample is requested, first try to report the TSX abort cost
on Haswell. If that is not available report the memory latency. This
allows profiling both by abort cost and by memory latencies.
Memory latencies requires enabling a different PEBS mode (LL).

For some events it's useful to weight sample with a hardware
provided number. This expresses how expensive the action the
sample represent was. This allows the profiler to scale
