It +depends on the hardware abstraction layer's platform drivers to get performance measurement counters (PMU) from the +platform. It makes no assumptions about the type of data these counters might contain and therefore each individual +platform is free to implement their own flavour. It works on the principle that each counter capsule will have one, or +several, 64-bit counters which are used to maintain rolling statistics. |
