Subject: [PATCH 1/1] perf: Add --pmu-filter option for filtering PMUs
Date: Wed, 25 Feb 2026 11:41:25 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260225034125.2157622-2-xiaqinxin@huawei.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260225034125.2157622-1-xiaqinxin@huawei.com>
This patch adds a new --pmu-filter option to perf-stat command to allow
filtering events on specific PMUs. This is useful when there are
multiple PMUs with same type (e.g. hisi_sicl2_cpa0 and hisi_sicl0_cpa0).
perf event:
