Hi,

I came across this article:

https://docs.kernel.org/dev-tools/autofdo.html

I installed cachy-sources 6.12.4

intrigued and did a few tests, but I'll stop at this point:

perf record --pfm-events RETIRED_TAKEN_BRANCH_INSTRUCTIONS:k -a -N -b -c 500009 -o kernel.data

Code:
failed to parse event RETIRED_TAKEN_BRANCH_INSTRUCTIONS:k : event not found


in fact
Code:
perf list
does not list this event...
am I missing something on the system?

Code:
emerge -pv perf

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!
Dependency resolution took 0.89 s (backtrack: 0/20).

I solved it by compiling perf in
/usr/src/linux/tools/perf

It needs CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS_AMD_BRS. Some investigation would be needed to see why dev-utli/perf can't seem to pick that up, if that's what was happening (I would find this surprising).
