Counter Event Selection and Start
Counter events are selected through PCR.SC and PCR.SU / PCR.SL fields. The
following pseudocode selects events and enables counters (assuming privileged
access):
pcr.ut = 0x0; /* initially disable user counts */
pcr.st = 0x0; /* initially disable system counts */
pcr.ulro = 0x0; /* make sure read-only disabled */
pcr.ovro = 0x1; /* do not modify overflow bits */
/* select the events without enabling counters */
for(i=0; i<=pcr.nc; i++) {
pcr.sc = i;
pcr.sl = select an event;
pcr.su = select an event;
wr_pcr(pcr);
}
/* start counting */
pcr.ut = 0x1;
pcr.st = 0x1;
pcr.ulro = 0x1; /* for not changing the last su/sl */
/* resetting of overflow bits can be done here */
wr_pcr(pcr);
Counter Stop and Read
The following pseudocode disables and reads counters (assuming privileged
access):
pcr.ut = 0x0; /* disable counts */
pcr.st = 0x0; /* disable counts */
pcr.ulro = 0x1; /* enable sl/su read-only */
pcr.ovro = 0x1; /* do not modify overflow bits */
