These registers can also trigger interrupts 1509 when a threshold number of events have passed - and can thus be 1510 used to profile the code that runs on that CPU. 1511 1512 The Linux Performance Event subsystem provides an abstraction of 1513 these software and hardware event capabilities, available via a 1514 system call and used by the "perf" utility in tools/perf/.
