Change the Nehalem cache events to use retired memory instruction counters
(similar to Westmere), this greatly improves the provided stats.
Using:
main ()
{
int i;
for (i = 0; i < 1000000000; i++) {
asm("mov (%%rsp), %%rbx;"
"mov %%rbx, (%%rsp);" : : : "rbx");
}
}
We find:
$ perf stat --repeat 10 -e instructions:u -e l1-dcache-loads:u -e l1-dcache-stores:u ./loop_1b_loads+stores
Performance counter stats for './loop_1b_loads+stores' (10 runs):
4,000,081,056 instructions:u # 0.000 IPC ( +- 0.000% )
4,999,502,846 l1-dcache-loads:u ( +- 0.008% )
1,000,034,832 l1-dcache-stores:u ( +- 0.000% )
1.565184942 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.005% )
The 5b is surprising - we'd expect 1b:
$ perf stat --repeat 10 -e instructions:u -e r10b:u -e l1-dcache-stores:u ./loop_1b_loads+stores
Performance counter stats for './loop_1b_loads+stores' (10 runs):
4,000,081,054 instructions:u # 0.000 IPC ( +- 0.000% )
1,000,021,961 r10b:u ( +- 0.000% )
1,000,030,951 l1-dcache-stores:u ( +- 0.000% )
1.565055422 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.003% )
Which this patch thus fixes.
