From 4a00c16e552ea5e71756cd29cd2df7557ec9cac4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sukadev Bhattiprolu Date: Thu, 3 Sep 2015 20:07:51 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] perf/core: Define PERF_PMU_TXN_READ interface Define a new PERF_PMU_TXN_READ interface to read a group of counters at once. pmu->start_txn() // Initialize before first event for each event in group pmu->read(event); // Queue each event to be read rc = pmu->commit_txn() // Read/update all queued counters Note that we use this interface with all PMUs. PMUs that implement this interface use the ->read() operation to _queue_ the counters to be read and use ->commit_txn() to actually read all the queued counters at once. PMUs that don't implement PERF_PMU_TXN_READ ignore ->start_txn() and ->commit_txn() and continue to read counters one at a time. Thanks to input from Peter Zijlstra.
