------- Comment From s...@us.ibm.com 2016-03-23 20:44 EDT------- +++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #136063 +++ +++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #136062 +++ Perf supports a small set of so-called "generic" PMU events like "cycles", "instructions" etc. But most CPUs support a wide variety of events, several closely related to run cycles or instructions or branches etc. For performance analysis it would be useful to know precisely which PMU event is being monitored by a generic event. This feature is to design/implement a mechanism to display the precise raw event codes for the generic events in a suitable file in sysfs. Following is a posting of the small patch set to the community https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/1/11/982 Any new news from maintainer? When is deemed too late to try to get this in 16.04? Feature freeze is passed. Kernel freeze is 4/07. Will this target 16.04.1/16.10?
