It is possible to optimize metrics when all SMT threads (CPUs) on a
core are measuring events in system wide mode. For example, TMA
metrics defines CORE_CLKS for Sandybrdige as:
if SMT is disabled:
CPU_CLK_UNHALTED.THREAD
if SMT is enabled and recording on all SMT threads:
CPU_CLK_UNHALTED.THREAD_ANY / 2
if SMT is enabled and not recording on all SMT threads:
(CPU_CLK_UNHALTED.THREAD/2)*
(1+CPU_CLK_UNHALTED.ONE_THREAD_ACTIVE/CPU_CLK_UNHALTED.REF_XCLK )
That is two more events are necessary when not gathering counts on all
SMT threads. To distinguish all SMT threads on a core vs system wide
(all CPUs) call the new property core wide. Add a core wide test that
determines the property from user requested CPUs, the topology and
system wide. System wide is required as other processes running on a
SMT thread will change the counts.
