DESCRIPTION

16       The  library  supports  AMD Family 10h processors in both 32 and 64-bit
17       modes. They correspond to processor family 16.

MODIFIERS

21       The following modifiers are supported on AMD64 Family 10h (16)  proces‐
22       sors:
23
24       u      Measure  at  user level which includes privilege levels 1, 2, 3.
25              This corresponds to PFM_PLM3.  This is a boolean modifier.
26
27       k      Measure at kernel level which includes privilege level  0.  This
28              corresponds to PFM_PLM0.  This is a boolean modifier.
29
30       h      Measure  at while executing in host mode (when using virtualiza‐
31              tion). This corresponds to PFM_PLMH.  This modifier is available
32              starting with Fam10h. This is a boolean modifier.
33
34       g      Measure at while executing in guest mode (when using virtualiza‐
35              tion). This modifier is available starting with Fam10h. This  is
36              a boolean modifier.
37
38       i      Invert  the  meaning  of  the  event. The counter will now count
39              cycles in which the event is not occurring. This  is  a  boolean
40              modifier
41
42       e      Enable  edge  detection,  i.e., count only when there is a state
43              transition. This is a boolean modifier.
44
45       c      Set the counter mask value. The mask acts as  a  threshold.  The
46              counter  will  count the number of cycles in which the number of
47              occurrences of the event is greater or equal to  the  threshold.
48              This is an integer modifier with values in the range [0:255].
