[PATCH v6 2/7] perf vendor events arm64: Add topdown L1 metrics for neoverse-n2-v2

From: Jing Zhang
Date: Fri Jan 06 2023 - 10:06:11 EST


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 overwrite the "MetricExpr" for neoverse-n2.
Reference from ARM neoverse-n2 errata notice [0], D117.

Since neoverse-n2/neoverse-v2 does not yet support topdown L2, metric
groups such as Cache, TLB, Branch, InstructionsMix and PEutilization
will be added to further analysis of performance bottlenecks in the
following patches. Reference from ARM PMU guide [1][2].
