27.Sh NAME
28.Nm pmc.ucf
29.Nd measurement events for
30.Tn Intel
31uncore fixed function performance counters.
32.Sh LIBRARY
33.Lb libpmc
34.Sh SYNOPSIS
35.In pmc.h
36.Sh DESCRIPTION
37Each fixed-function PMC measures a specific hardware event.
38The number of fixed-function PMCs implemented in a CPU can vary.
39The number of fixed-function PMCs present can be determined at runtime
40by using function
41.Xr pmc_cpuinfo 3 .
42.Pp
43Intel uncore fixed-function PMCs are documented in
44.Rs
45.%B "Intel(R) 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developes Manual"
46.%T "Volume 3B: System Programming Guide, Part 2"
47.%N "Order Number: 253669-033US"
48.%D December 2009
49.%Q "Intel Corporation"

52.Ss PMC Capabilities
53Fixed-function PMCs support the following capabilities:
54.Bl -column "PMC_CAP_INTERRUPT" "Support"
55.It Em Capability Ta Em Support
56.It PMC_CAP_CASCADE Ta \&No
57.It PMC_CAP_EDGE Ta \&No
58.It PMC_CAP_INTERRUPT Ta \&No
59.It PMC_CAP_INVERT Ta \&No
60.It PMC_CAP_READ Ta Yes
61.It PMC_CAP_PRECISE Ta \&No
62.It PMC_CAP_SYSTEM Ta \&No
63.It PMC_CAP_TAGGING Ta \&No
64.It PMC_CAP_THRESHOLD Ta \&No
65.It PMC_CAP_USER Ta \&No
66.It PMC_CAP_WRITE Ta Yes
67.El
68.Ss Class Name Prefix
69These PMCs are named using a class name prefix of
70.Dq Li ucf- .
71.Ss Event Specifiers (Fixed Function PMCs)
72The fixed function PMCs are selectable using the following
73event names:
74.Bl -tag -width indent
75.It Li UCLOCK
76.Pq Fixed Function Counter 0
77The fixed-function uncore counter increments at the rate of the U-clock.
78The frequency of the uncore clock domain can be determined from the uncore
79clock ratio which is available in the PCI configuration space register at
80offset C0H under device number 0 and Function 0.
