[PATCH] x86, perf: Handle multiple umask bits for BDW CYCLE_ACTIVITY.*

From: Andi Kleen
Date: Mon Nov 16 2015 - 19:21:16 EST


From: Andi Kleen <ak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The earlier constraint fix for Broadwell CYCLE_ACTIVITY.*
forced umask 8 to counter 2. For this it used UEVENT,
to match the complete umask.

The event list for Broadwell has an additional
STALLS_L1D_PENDIND event that uses umask 8, but also
sets other bits in the umask. The earlier strict umask match
didn't handle this case.

Add a new UBIT_EVENT constraint macro that only matches
the specified bits in the umask. Then use that macro
to handle CYCLE_ACTIVITY.* on Broadwell.

The documented event also uses cmask, but there's no
need to let the event scheduler know about the cmask,
as the scheduling restriction is only tied to the umask.

[I'm resending the last patch. There were various
discussions around it, but no better solutions came
up. Also need a solution because it breaks various
tools, such as toplev]
