Of course we need to shorten the event names, currently they are too long and need at least 45 characters only for names, how can we show another useful info on the screen. Please suggest some better short names for : L1-data-Cache-Load-Reference [Hardware cache event] L1-data-Cache-Load-Miss [Hardware cache event] L1-data-Cache-Store-Reference [Hardware cache event] L1-data-Cache-Store-Miss [Hardware cache event] L1-data-Cache-Prefetch-Reference [Hardware cache event] L1-data-Cache-Prefetch-Miss [Hardware cache event] L1-instruction-Cache-Load-Reference [Hardware cache event] L1-instruction-Cache-Load-Miss [Hardware cache event] L1-instruction-Cache-Store-Reference [Hardware cache event] L1-instruction-Cache-Store-Miss [Hardware cache event] L1-instruction-Cache-Prefetch-Reference [Hardware cache event] L1-instruction-Cache-Prefetch-Miss [Hardware cache event] L2-Cache-Load-Reference [Hardware cache event] L2-Cache-Load-Miss [Hardware cache event] L2-Cache-Store-Reference [Hardware cache event] L2-Cache-Store-Miss [Hardware cache event] L2-Cache-Prefetch-Reference [Hardware cache event] L2-Cache-Prefetch-Miss [Hardware cache event] Data-TLB-Cache-Load-Reference [Hardware cache event] Data-TLB-Cache-Load-Miss [Hardware cache event] Data-TLB-Cache-Store-Reference [Hardware cache event] Data-TLB-Cache-Store-Miss [Hardware cache event] Data-TLB-Cache-Prefetch-Reference [Hardware cache event] Data-TLB-Cache-Prefetch-Miss [Hardware cache event] Instruction-TLB-Cache-Load-Reference [Hardware cache event] Instruction-TLB-Cache-Load-Miss [Hardware cache event] Instruction-TLB-Cache-Store-Reference [Hardware cache event] Instruction-TLB-Cache-Store-Miss [Hardware cache event] Instruction-TLB-Cache-Prefetch-Reference [Hardware cache event] Instruction-TLB-Cache-Prefetch-Miss [Hardware cache event] Branch-Cache-Load-Reference [Hardware cache event] Branch-Cache-Load-Miss [Hardware cache event] Branch-Cache-Store-Reference [Hardware cache event] Branch-Cache-Store-Miss [Hardware cache event] Branch-Cache-Prefetch-Reference [Hardware cache event] Branch-Cache-Prefetch-Miss [Hardware cache event] Thanks, -- JSR -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
