[PATCH v6 1/7] perf vendor events arm64: Add common topdown L1 metrics

Fri Jan 6 07:05:23 PST 2023


The metrics of topdown L1 are from ARM sbsa7.0 platform design doc[0],
D37-38, which are standard. So put them in the common file sbsa.json of
arm64, so that other cores besides n2/v2 can also be reused.

Slots may be different in each architecture, so added "#slots" literal
to get different constant for each architecture.

The value of slots comes from the register PMMIR_EL1, which I can read
in /sys/bus/event_source/device/armv8_pmuv3_*/caps/slots. PMMIR_EL1.SLOT
might read as zero if the STALL_SLOT event is not implemented or the PMU
version is lower than ID_AA64DFR0_EL1_PMUVer_V3P4.
