2) Cache hit and miss measurements using model specific precision counters if
available. Depending on the levels of cache on the system the pseudo_lock_l2
and pseudo_lock_l3 tracepoints are available.
- WARNING: triggering this measurement uses from two (for just L2
- measurements) to four (for L2 and L3 measurements) precision counters on
- the system, if any other measurements are in progress the counters and
- their corresponding event registers will be clobbered.
When a pseudo-locked region is created a new debugfs directory is created for
it in debugfs as /sys/kernel/debug/resctrl/<newdir>. A single
write-only file, pseudo_lock_measure, is present in this directory. The
-measurement on the pseudo-locked region depends on the number, 1 or 2,
-written to this debugfs file. Since the measurements are recorded with the
-tracing infrastructure the relevant tracepoints need to be enabled before the
-measurement is triggered.
+measurement of the pseudo-locked region depends on the number written to this
+debugfs file:
+1 - writing "1" to the pseudo_lock_measure file will trigger the latency
+ measurement captured in the pseudo_lock_mem_latency tracepoint. See
+ example below.
+2 - writing "2" to the pseudo_lock_measure file will trigger the L2 cache
+ residency (cache hits and misses) measurement captured in the
+ pseudo_lock_l2 tracepoint. See example below.
+3 - writing "3" to the pseudo_lock_measure file will trigger the L3 cache
+ residency (cache hits and misses) measurement captured in the
+ pseudo_lock_l3 tracepoint.
+
+All measurements are recorded with the tracing infrastructure. This requires
+the relevant tracepoints to be enabled before the measurement is triggered.
Example of latency debugging interface:
In this example a pseudo-locked region named "newlock" was created. Here is
