[PATCH v2 23/32] perf/x86/intel/cqm: use PERF_INACTIVE_*_READ_* flags in CQM

Show all headers | View raw

Use newly added pmu_event flags to:
  - Allow thread events to be read from any CPU even if not in
  ACTIVE state. Since inter-package values are polled, a thread's
  occupancy is always:

    local occupancy (read from hw) + remote occupancy (polled values)

  - Allow cpu/cgroup events to be read from any CPU in the package where
  they run. This potentially saves IPIs when the read function runs in the
  same package but in a distinct CPU than the event.

Since reading will always return a new value and inherit_stats is not
supported (due to all children events sharing the same RMID), there is no
need to read during sched_out of an event.
