@ -364,6 +364,42 @@ cyc_thresh Specifies how frequently CYC packets are produced - see cyc
CYC packets are not requested by default.
pt Specifies pass-through which enables the 'branch' config term.
The default config selects 'pt' if it is available, so a user will
never need to specify this term.
branch Enable branch tracing. Branch tracing is enabled by default so to
disable branch tracing use 'branch=0'.
The default config selects 'branch' if it is available.
ptw Enable PTWRITE packets which are produced when a ptwrite instruction
is executed.
Support for this feature is indicated by:
/sys/bus/event_source/devices/intel_pt/caps/ptwrite
which contains "1" if the feature is supported and
"0" otherwise.
fup_on_ptw Enable a FUP packet to follow the PTWRITE packet. The FUP packet
provides the address of the ptwrite instruction. In the absence of
fup_on_ptw, the decoder will use the address of the previous branch
if branch tracing is enabled, otherwise the address will be zero.
Note that fup_on_ptw will work even when branch tracing is disabled.
pwr_evt Enable power events. The power events provide information about
changes to the CPU C-state.
Support for this feature is indicated by:
/sys/bus/event_source/devices/intel_pt/caps/power_event_trace
which contains "1" if the feature is supported and
"0" otherwise.
