Re: [PATCH v7 3/4] perf,x86: add Intel RAPL PMU support

[Stephane Eranian]

Vince,

Ok, I have added PP1 now and it works fine on my HSW desktop.
What I want to know now is what is this map to on servers?
And on clients, it is always mapped to the GFX. If so, then
we can use a more specific name: power/energy-gfx/

I will send a patch soon.

Thanks.
