I recently got a ref haswell box to play with.

Initial dmesg looks like this:

Diffs at:
http://www.strugglingcoder.info/patches/hwpmc_hw.txt
Tests I've done:
http://www.strugglingcoder.info/patches/hwpmc_hw_pmccontrol.txt
http://www.strugglingcoder.info/patches/hwpmc_hw_pmctest.txt

I am following 325462-045US Jan 2013 sw dev manual and below are the counters
which I cannot poke at via pmcstat:

Core:
"L2_RQSTS.DEMAND_DATA_RD_MISS"
"L2_RQSTS.DEMAND_DATA_RD_HIT"
"L2_RQSTS.ALL_DEMAND_DATA_RD"
"L2_RQSTS.ALL_DEMAND_MISS"
"L2_RQSTS.ALL_DEMAND_REFERENCES"
"L2_RQSTS.MISS"
"CYCLE_ACTIVITY.STALLS_L2_PENDING"
"PAGE_WALKER_LOADS.DTLB_L1"
"PAGE_WALKER_LOADS.ITLB_L1"
"BACLEARS.ANY"
"L2_LINES_OUT.DEMAND_CLEAN"

Uncore:
"UNC_CBO_XSNP_RESPONSE.INVAL_M"
"UNC_CBO_CACHE_LOOKUP.ES"

For all of them, I get error like this:

# pmcstat -p L2_RQSTS.MISS ls
pmcstat: ERROR: Cannot allocate process-mode pmc with specification
"L2_RQSTS.MISS": Invalid argument

Box does not panic or anything.

I've tried to double check my changes without success.
Is it possible that the documentation has some inconsistencies?

Cheers,
Hiren
