Changes since v3:
- Add ipc_rate metric;
- Drop the PublicDescription;
- Describe PEutilization metrics in more detail;
- Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/[email protected]/
Changes since v2:
- Correct the furmula of Branch metrics;
- Add more PE utilization metrics;
- Add more TLB metrics;
- Add “ScaleUnit” for some metrics;
- Add a newline at the end of the file;
- Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/[email protected]/
Changes since v1:
- Corrected formula for topdown L1 due to wrong counts for stall_slot and
stall_slot_frontend;
- Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/[email protected]/
This series add six metricgroups for neoverse-n2, among which, the formula of
topdown L1 is from ARM sbsa7.0 platform design document [0], D37-38.
However, due to the wrong count of stall_slot and stall_slot_frontend on
neoverse-n2, the real stall_slot and real stall_slot_frontend need to
subtract cpu_cycles, so correct the expression of topdown metrics.
Reference from ARM neoverse-n2 errata notice [1], D117.
Since neoverse-n2 does not yet support topdown L2, metricgroups such as Cache,
TLB, Branch, InstructionsMix, and PEutilization are added to help further
analysis of performance bottlenecks. Reference from ARM PMU guide [2][3].

Series:
Acked-by: Ian Rogers <[email protected]>
The only observation I had is that the "per kilo instruction" in the
names (ie ending pki) could be moved into the ScaleUnit. Which may
make the names and the output a little cleaner.
Thanks!
