| 19 | ----------------------------- |
| 20 | Even when an event is not available in a symbolic form within perf right now, |
| 21 | it can be encoded as <UMASK VALUE><EVENT NUM>, for instance, if the Intel docs |
| 22 | describe an event as: |
| 23 | |
| 24 | Event Umask Event Mask |
| 25 | Num. Value Mnemonic Description Comment |
| 26 | |
| 27 | A8H 01H LSD.UOPS Counts the number of micro-ops Use cmask=1 and |
| 28 | delivered by loop stream detector invert to count |
| 29 | cycles |
| 30 | |
| 31 | raw encoding of 0x1A8 can be used: |
| 32 | |
| 33 | perf stat -e r1a8 -a sleep 1 |
| 34 | perf record -e r1a8 ... |
