Note, 'perfctr' is a different out-of-tree Linux kernel project run by someone
else: it offers the /dev/perfctr special-purpose device that allows raw,
unabstracted, low-level access to the PMU.

I suspect the one you wanted to mention here is called 'perf' or 'perf
events'. (and used to be called 'performance counters' or 'perfcounters' until
it got renamed about a year ago)

Thanks,

Ingo

Of course I understood it. My point was that 'perf kvm' serves a tiny
minority of users. That doesn't mean it isn't useful, just that it
doesn't satisfy all needs by itself.

Do not meddle in the internals of kernels, for they are subtle and quick to panic.

I hope you wont be disappointed to learn that 100% of Linux, all 13+ million
lines of it, was and is being developed by a tiny, tiny, tiny minority of
users ;-)

Of course - and it doesnt bring world peace either. One step at a time.

Thanks Ingo, Avi.

I worked out below patch against tip/master of March 15th.

Subject: [PATCH] Change perf's parameter --pid to process-wide collection
From: Zhang, Yanmin <yanmin_zhang(a)linux.intel.com>

Change parameter -p (--pid) to real process pid and add -t (--tid) meaning
thread id. Now, --pid means perf collects the statistics of all threads of
the process, while --tid means perf just collect the statistics of that thread.

BTW, the patch fixes a bug of 'perf stat -p'. 'perf stat' always configures
attr->disabled=1 if it isn't a system-wide collection. If there is a '-p'
and no forks, 'perf stat -p' doesn't collect any data. In addition, the
while(!done) in run_perf_stat consumes 100% single cpu time which has bad impact
on running workload. I added a sleep(1) in the loop.

That's pretty bad, as NMI runs on a separate stack (via IST). So if
another NMI happens while our int $2 is running, the stack will be
corrupted.

I think you need DM_NMI for that to work correctly.

An alternative is to call the NMI handler directly.
