    摘要: An aspect includes enabling and disabling execution of a run-time instrumentation facility. An instruction for execution by the processor in a lesser privileged state is fetched by the processor. The instruction is executed based on determining, by the processor, that the run-time instrumentation facility permits execution of the instruction in the lesser-privileged state and that controls associated with the run-time instrumentation facility are valid. The run-time instrumentation facility is disabled based on the instruction being a run-time instrumentation facility off (RIOFF) instruction. The disabling includes updating a bit in a program status word (PSW) of the processor to indicate that run-time instrumentation data should not be captured by the processor. The run-time instrumentation facility is enabled based on the instruction being a run-time instrumentation facility on (RION) instruction. The enabling includes updating the bit in the PSW to indicate that run-time instrumentation data should be captured by the processor.
