[PATCH v5 4/5] perf arm-spe: Use SPE data source for neoverse cores

Ali Saidi alisaidi at amazon.com
Fri Apr 8 12:53:43 PDT 2022


When synthesizing data from SPE, augment the type with source information
for Arm Neoverse cores. The field is IMPLDEF but the Neoverse cores all use
the same encoding. I can't find encoding information for any other SPE
implementations to unify their choices with Arm's thus that is left for
future work.

This change populates the mem_lvl_num for Neoverse cores instead of the
deprecated mem_lvl namespace.
