32 * User-space ABI bits:
36 * Generalized performance counter event types, used by the hw_event.type
37 * parameter of the sys_perf_counter_open() syscall:
41 * Common hardware events, generalized by the kernel:

54 * Special "software" counters provided by the kernel, even if
55 * the hardware does not support performance counters. These
56 * counters measure various physical and sw events of the
57 * kernel (and allow the profiling of them as well):

69 * IRQ-notification data record type:
71 enum perf_counter_record_type {
72 PERF_RECORD_SIMPLE = 0,
74 PERF_RECORD_GROUP = 2,
78 * Hardware event to monitor via a performance monitoring counter:
80 struct perf_counter_hw_event {

105 #define PERF_COUNTER_IOC_DISABLE _IO('$', 1)
