Hello Manuel,

I'm running Linux 3.11 but I don't see a way to setup the latency threshold there. My option flags include:

       -t, --type=
       -D, --dump-raw-samples=
       -x, --field-separator
       -C, --cpu-list

so I guess that this option is not implemented in perf (at least on 3.11). So I need to capture all the samples and then discard those that surpass that threshold.

Going back into your example, is it possible to capture / show the timestamp for the captured samples? I've seen the Intel documentation, and there aren't timestamps in PEBS entries so that may require additional work. IIRC, someone of the list told me that perf allocates a 1-entry PEBS buffer so every time PEBS fills it, perf somehow gets an interrupt indicating that it has to flush it. This way, perf can attribute a timestamp to that sample also.

Thank you very much!

Hi Harald,

Yes you can with the "perf mem" tool. It has been introduced in kernel
3.10 (correct me if I am wrong, not very sure about that). It's built on
top of perf mem record and perf mem report but hide for you the
complxity of choosing the memory events . See "man perf mem" for th details.

    Hello list,

       is there any way to configure perf to sample memory references
    through PEBS and enable the Load Latency Performance Monitoring
    Facility (section 18.7.1.2 from the Intel 64 and IA-32 Architectures
    Software Developer's Manual).

    Thank you very much in advance.
