Subject: [PATCH RFC 0/6] Add metrics for neoverse-n2
Date:   Mon, 31 Oct 2022 19:11:28 +0800
Message-Id: <1667214694-89839-1-git-send-email-renyu.zj@linux.alibaba.com>
Precedence: bulk

This series add six metricgroups for neoverse-n2, among which, the
formula of topdown L1 is from the document:
https://documentation-service.arm.com/static/60250c7395978b529036da86?token=

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.

with this series on neoverse-n2:

$./perf list metricgroup

List of pre-defined events (to be used in -e):


Metric Groups:

Branch
Cache
InstructionMix
PEutilization
TLB
TopDownL1


$./perf list

...
Metric Groups:

Branch:
  branch_miss_pred_rate
       [The rate of branches mis-predited to the overall branches]
  branch_mpki
       [The rate of branches mis-predicted per kilo instructions]
  branch_pki
       [The rate of branches retired per kilo instructions]
Cache:
  l1d_cache_miss_rate
       [The rate of L1 D-Cache misses to the overall L1 D-Cache]
  l1d_cache_mpki
       [The rate of L1 D-Cache misses per kilo instructions]
...


$sudo ./perf stat -a -M TLB sleep 1
