28.Os
29.Sh NAME
30.Nm pmc.ucf
31.Nd measurement events for
32.Tn Intel
33uncore fixed function performance counters.
34.Sh LIBRARY
35.Lb libpmc
36.Sh SYNOPSIS
37.In pmc.h
38.Sh DESCRIPTION
39Each fixed-function PMC measures a specific hardware event.
40The number of fixed-function PMCs implemented in a CPU can vary.
41The number of fixed-function PMCs present can be determined at runtime
42by using function
43.Xr pmc_cpuinfo 3 .
44.Pp
45Intel uncore fixed-function PMCs are documented in
46.Rs
47.%B "Intel(R) 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developes Manual"
48.%T "Volume 3B: System Programming Guide, Part 2"
49.%N "Order Number: 253669-033US"
50.%D December 2009
51.%Q "Intel Corporation"
52.Re
53.Pp
54.Ss PMC Capabilities
55Fixed-function PMCs support the following capabilities:
56.Bl -column "PMC_CAP_INTERRUPT" "Support"
57.It Em Capability Ta Em Support
58.It PMC_CAP_CASCADE Ta \&No
59.It PMC_CAP_EDGE Ta \&No
60.It PMC_CAP_INTERRUPT Ta \&No
61.It PMC_CAP_INVERT Ta \&No
62.It PMC_CAP_READ Ta Yes
63.It PMC_CAP_PRECISE Ta \&No
64.It PMC_CAP_SYSTEM Ta \&No
65.It PMC_CAP_TAGGING Ta \&No
66.It PMC_CAP_THRESHOLD Ta \&No
67.It PMC_CAP_USER Ta \&No
68.It PMC_CAP_WRITE Ta Yes
69.El
70.Ss Class Name Prefix
71These PMCs are named using a class name prefix of
72.Dq Li ucf- .
73.Ss Event Specifiers (Fixed Function PMCs)
74The fixed function PMCs are selectable using the following
75event names:
76.Bl -tag -width indent
77.It Li UCLOCK
78.Pq Fixed Function Counter 0
79The fixed-function uncore counter increments at the rate of the U-clock.
80The frequency of the uncore clock domain can be determined from the uncore
81clock ratio which is available in the PCI configuration space register at
82offset C0H under device number 0 and Function 0.
