Introduce the flag PMU_EV_CAP_READ_ACTIVE_PKG, useful for uncore events, that allows a PMU to signal the generic perf code that an event is readable in the current CPU if the event is active in a CPU in the same package as the current CPU. This is an optimization that avoids a unnecessary IPI for the common case where uncore events are run and read in the same package but in different CPUs. As an example, the IPI removal speeds up perf_read() in my Haswell system as follows: - For event UNC_C_LLC_LOOKUP: From 260 us to 31 us. - For event RAPL's power/energy-cores/: From to 255 us to 27 us. For the optimization to work, all events in the group must have it (similarly to PERF_EV_CAP_SOFTWARE).
