From f7d7986060b2890fc26db6ab5203efbd33aa2497 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Anton Blanchard Date: Sun, 18 Oct 2009 01:09:29 +0000 Subject: perf_event: Add alignment-faults and emulation-faults software events Add two more software events that are common to many cpus. Alignment faults: When a load or store is not aligned properly. Emulation faults: When an instruction is emulated in software. Both cause a very significant slowdown (100x or worse), so identifying and fixing them is very important.
