# EventClass.py
#
# This is a library defining some events types classes, which could
# be used by other scripts to analyzing the perf samples.
#
# Currently there are just a few classes defined for examples,
# PerfEvent is the base class for all perf event sample, PebsEvent
# is a HW base Intel x86 PEBS event, and user could add more SW/HW
# event classes based on requirements.

# the size of raw buffer, raw PEBS event with load latency data's
# size is 176 bytes, while the pure PEBS event's size is 144 bytes.
