When using perf stat on an AMD F15h system with the default hw events
attributes, some of the events don't get counted:
Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1':
0.749208 task-clock (msec) # 0.001 CPUs utilized
1 context-switches # 0.001 M/sec
0 cpu-migrations # 0.000 K/sec
54 page-faults # 0.072 M/sec
1,122,815 cycles # 1.499 GHz
286,740 stalled-cycles-frontend # 25.54% frontend cycles idle
<not counted> stalled-cycles-backend (0.00%)
^^^^^^^^^^^^
<not counted> instructions (0.00%)
^^^^^^^^^^^^
<not counted> branches (0.00%)
<not counted> branch-misses (0.00%)
1.001550070 seconds time elapsed
The reason is that we have the HW watchdog consuming one PMU counter and
when perf tries to schedule 6 events on 6 counters and some of those
counters are constrained to only a specific subset of PMCs by the
hardware, the event scheduling fails.
So issue a hint to disable the HW watchdog around a perf stat session.
Committer note:
Testing it...
# perf stat -d usleep 1
Performance counter stats for 'usleep 1':

Some events weren't counted. Try disabling the NMI watchdog:
echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog
perf stat ...
echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog
