About PAFLib
PAFLib is an IBM written library which exposes Power Architecture Facilities to userspace via an API. This includes the Data Stream Control Register Facility (DSCR) and the Event-Based Branching facility (EBB). Linux kernel 3.9 has exposed problem-state DSCR usage for ISA 2.06 (POWER7 – emulated) and ISA 2.07 (POWER8 – in hardware). Linux 3.10 has exposed the EBB facility.
