[PATCH v2 4/4] perf vendor events arm64: Reference common and uarch events for A76
John Garry
john.garry at huawei.com
Thu Jan 28 07:00:36 EST 2021
Reduce duplication in the JSONs by referencing standard events from
armv8-common-and-microarch.json
In general the "PublicDescription" fields are not modified when somewhat
significantly worded differently than the standard.
Apart from that, description and names for events slightly different to
standard are changed (to standard) for consistency.
