+EVENT MODIFIERS
|
|
|
+---------------
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Events can optionally have a modifer by appending a colon and one or
|
|
|
+more modifiers. Modifiers allow the user to restrict when events are
|
|
|
+counted with 'u' for user-space, 'k' for kernel, 'h' for hypervisor.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+The 'p' modifier can be used for specifying how precise the instruction
|
|
|
+address should be. The 'p' modifier is currently only implemented for
|
|
|
+Intel PEBS and can be specified multiple times:
|
|
|
+ 0 - SAMPLE_IP can have arbitrary skid
|
|
|
+ 1 - SAMPLE_IP must have constant skid
|
|
|
+ 2 - SAMPLE_IP requested to have 0 skid
|
|
|
+ 3 - SAMPLE_IP must have 0 skid
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+The PEBS implementation now supports up to 2.
