In a multi node system with discontiguous node ids, nest event values
are not showing up properly. eg. lscpu output:
NUMA node0 CPU(s): 0-15
NUMA node8 CPU(s): 16-31
Nest event values on such systems can be counted on CPUs <= 15:
$./perf stat -e 'nest_powerbus0_imc/PM_PB_CYC/' -C 0-14 -I 1000 sleep 1000
# time counts unit events
1.000294577 30,17,24,42,880 nest_powerbus0_imc/PM_PB_CYC/
But not on CPUs >= 16:
$./perf stat -e 'nest_powerbus0_imc/PM_PB_CYC/' -C 16-28 -I 1000 sleep 1000
# time counts unit events
1.000049902 <not supported> nest_powerbus0_imc/PM_PB_CYC/
This is because, when fetching the reference count, the node id (which
may be sparse) is used as the array index, not the node number (which
is 0 based and contiguous).
Fix it by using the node number as the array index.
$./perf stat -e 'nest_powerbus0_imc/PM_PB_CYC/' -C 16-28 -I 1000 sleep 1000
# time counts unit events

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
