Package: s390-tools Version: 1.33.0-1 Severity: normal Tags: Hi Philipp,
this is a request to package a set of utilities to display information about the CPU-measurement counter and sampling facilities. Both facilities provide hardware support for counters (cycles, instructions, etc.) and sampling. The lscpumf command displays information about the installed facilities and provide an overview of authorized and available hardware counters. The counter list informs users about authorized hardware counters and its number and symbolic name, for example, to be specified for perf tool. The chcpumf command changes sampling buffer charactistics for the kernel support for the hardware sampler. Apart from the user command, there is a helper program to parse data files. I will attach a patch when I have a bug number to provide you an changelog entry for convenience. Thanks and kind regards, Hendrik
