hi, I had discussion with Ingo about the state of this patchset and there's one more requirement from his side - to split event files into per topic files
Thanks Jiri.
I made some initial changes over latest Sukadev's branch and came up with something like this:
Did you just split it by the "Topic" fields?
$ find pmu-events/arch/x86/ pmu-events/arch/x86/ pmu-events/arch/x86/NehalemEX_core pmu-events/arch/x86/NehalemEX_core/Memory.json pmu-events/arch/x86/NehalemEX_core/Virtual-Memory.json pmu-events/arch/x86/NehalemEX_core/Cache.json pmu-events/arch/x86/NehalemEX_core/Pipeline.json pmu-events/arch/x86/NehalemEX_core/Floating-point.json pmu-events/arch/x86/NehalemEX_core/Other.json pmu-events/arch/x86/mapfile.csv pmu-events/arch/x86/Broadwell_core pmu-events/arch/x86/Broadwell_core/Memory.json pmu-events/arch/x86/Broadwell_core/Virtual-Memory.json pmu-events/arch/x86/Broadwell_core/Cache.json pmu-events/arch/x86/Broadwell_core/Pipeline.json pmu-events/arch/x86/Broadwell_core/Floating-point.json pmu-events/arch/x86/Broadwell_core/Other.json pmu-events/arch/x86/Broadwell_core/Frontend.json so let's have a discussion if this is acceptable for you guys
Splitting is fine for me, as long as it's scriptable. I already have some scripts to generate the perf json files, can update them to split.
I've already made some changes in pmu-events/* to support this hierarchy to see how bad the change would be.. and it's not that bad ;-)
Everything has to be automated, please no manual changes. -Andi
