These registers count the number of certain 1410 types of hw events: such as instructions executed, cachemisses 1411 suffered, or branches mis-predicted - without slowing down the 1412 kernel or applications. These registers can also trigger interrupts 1413 when a threshold number of events have passed - and can thus be 1414 used to profile the code that runs on that CPU. 1415 1416 The Linux Performance Event subsystem provides an abstraction of 1417 these software and hardware event capabilities, available via a 1418 system call and used by the "perf" utility in tools/perf/.
