55 | 58 | S - read sample value (PERF_SAMPLE_READ) |

56 | 59 | D - pin the event to the PMU |
---|
57 | 60 | W - group is weak and will fallback to non-group if not schedulable, |

58 | | - only supported in 'perf stat' for now. |
---|
| 61 | + e - group or event are exclusive and do not share the PMU |
---|
59 | 62 | |
---|
60 | 63 | The 'p' modifier can be used for specifying how precise the instruction |
---|
61 | 64 | address should be. The 'p' modifier can be specified multiple times: |

---|
| 119 | +It's also possible to use pmu syntax: |
---|

---|
| 121 | + perf record -e r1a8 -a sleep 1 |

244 | 265 | the first event (the leader) samples, and it only reads the values of the |

245 | 266 | other events in the group. |

246 | 267 | |
---|
| 268 | +However, in the case AUX area events (e.g. Intel PT or CoreSight), the AUX |
---|
| 269 | +area event must be the leader, so then the second event samples, not the first. |
