The following modifiers are supported on Intel Ivy Bridge C-Box uncore PMU:
i Invert the meaning of the event. The counter will now count cycles in which the event is not
occurring. This is a boolean modifier
e Enable edge detection, i.e., count only when there is a state transition from no occurrence of the
event to at least one occurrence. This modifier must be combined with a counter mask modifier (m)
with a value greater or equal to one. This is a boolean modifier.
c Set the counter mask value. The mask acts as a threshold. The counter will count the number of
cycles in which the number of occurrences of the event is greater or equal to the threshold. This
is an integer modifier with values in the range [0:255].
Both the UNC_CBO_CACHE_LOOKUP and UNC_CBO_XSNP_RESPONSE requires two umasks to be valid. For
UNC_CBO_CACHE_LOOKUP the first umask must be one of the MESI state umasks, the second has to be one of
the filters. For UNC_CBO_XSNP_RESPONSE the first umask must be one of the snoop types, the second has to
be one of the filters.
