[Bug 1018092] Re: Perf test fails on Pandaboard (3.4 TILT)

 

I found the magic sauce for getting the PMU event counters working in
recent upstream code. On the 4460 the EMU clock has to be forced on.  A
patch for this, and for missing PMU/CTI interrupt mods is being applied
to our 3.4 branch now.  With this it will be possible to build a kernel
with hardware event counters enabled and use perf to collect counter
data.  Bear in mind there is still nothing we can do to really work
around the problem of occasional lost PMU interrupts, as that is a
hardware issue.
