# libpfm_intel_adl_glc

## NAME



           libpfm_intel_adl_glc - support for Intel Alderlake Goldencove (P-
           Core) core PMU
    


## SYNOPSIS



           **#include <perfmon/pfmlib.h>**
    
           **PMU name: adl_glc**
           **PMU desc: Intel Alderlake Goldencove (P-core)**
    


## DESCRIPTION



           The library supports the Intel Alderlake Goldencove (P-Core) core
           PMU. It should be noted that this PMU model only covers each
           core's PMU and not the socket level PMU.  Because the processor
           uses a hybrid architecture with a P-Core and E-Core with a
           different PMU model, it may be necessary to force a PMU instance
           name to get the desired encoding. For instance, to encode for the
           P-Core adl_glc::BR_INST_RETIRED and for the E-core
           adl_grt::BR_INST_RETIRED.
    
           On Adlerlake Goldencove (P-Core), the number of generic counters
           depends on the Hyperthreading (HT) mode.
    
           The **pfm_get_pmu_info()** function returns the maximum number of
           generic counters in **num_cntrs**.
    


## MODIFIERS



           The following modifiers are supported on Intel SapphireRapid
           processors:
    
           **u** Measure at user level which includes privilege levels 1, 2,
                  3. This corresponds to **PFM_PLM3**.  This is a boolean
                  modifier.
    
           **k** Measure at kernel level which includes privilege level 0.
                  This corresponds to **PFM_PLM0**.  This is a boolean modifier.
    
           **i** Invert the meaning of the event. The counter will now count
                  cycles in which the event is **not** occurring. This is a
                  boolean modifier
    
           **e** Enable edge detection, i.e., count only when there is a
                  state transition from no occurrence of the event to at
                  least one occurrence. This modifier must be combined with a
                  counter mask modifier (m) with a value greater or equal to
                  one.  This is a boolean modifier.
    
           **c** Set the counter mask value. The mask acts as a threshold.
                  The counter will count the number of cycles in which the
                  number of occurrences of the event is greater or equal to
                  the threshold. This is an integer modifier with values in
                  the range [0:255].
    
           **intx** Monitor the event only when executing inside a
                  transactional memory region (in tx). Event does not count
                  otherwise. This is a boolean modifiers. Default value is 0.
    
           **intxcp** Do not count occurrences of the event when they are inside
                  an aborted transactional memory region. This is a boolean
                  modifier. Default value is 0.
    
           **ldlat** Pass a latency threshold in core cycles to the
                  MEM_TRANS_RETIRED:LOAD_LATENCY event.  This is an integer
                  attribute that must be in the range [1:65535]. It is
                  required for this event. The library provides a set of
                  presets for specific latencies, such as 128.  Note that the
                  event **must** be used with precise sampling (PEBS).
    


## FRONTEND_RETIRED event



           For Alderlake Goldencove (P-Core), the library uses the hardcoded
           bubble width and bubble length provided by Intel preset events.
           It is not possible to tweak either the latency or the width via
           the library.
    


## OFFCORE_RESPONSE events



           Intel Alderlake Goldencove (P-Core) supports two encodings for
           offcore_response events (0x2a, 0x2b). In the library, these are
           called OCR0 and OCR1. The two encodings are equivalent. On Linux,
           the kernel can schedule any OCR encoding into any of the two OCR
           counters.  The offcore_response events are exposed as a normal
           events by the library. The extra settings are exposed as regular
           umasks. The library takes care of encoding the events according to
           the underlying kernel interface.
    
           On Intel Alderlake Goldencove (P-Core), the event is treated as a
           regular event with a flat set of umasks to choose from.  It is not
           possible to combine the various requests, supplier, snoop bits
           anymore. The library offers the list of validated combinations as
           per Intel's official event list.
