The 10.3 failure seems to be a problem in the skl metric DRAM_Parallel_Reads:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux.git/tree/tools/perf/pmu-events/arch/x86/skylake/skl-metrics.json?h=perf/core#n319
arb@event\\=0x80\\,umask\\=0x2@ / arb@event\\=0x80\\,umask\\=0x2\\,thresh\\=1@

The test failure message is:
Parse event failed metric 'DRAM_Parallel_Reads' id
'arb/event=0x80,umask=0x2,thresh=1/' expr
'arb@event\=0x80\,umask\=0x2@ /
arb@event\=0x80\,umask\=0x2\,thresh\=1@'
Error string 'unknown term 'thresh' for pmu 'uncore_arb'' help 'valid
terms: event,edge,inv,umask,cmask,config,config1,config2,name,period,freq,branch_type,time,call-graph,stack-size,no-inherit,inherit,max-stack,nr,no-overwrite,overwrite,driver-config,percore,aux-output,aux-sample-size'

The 01.org version of this from:
https://download.01.org/perfmon/TMA_Metrics.xlsx
is:
UNC_ARB_TRK_OCCUPANCY.DATA_READ / UNC_ARB_TRK_OCCUPANCY.DATA_READ:c1

It seems that :c1 has been translated into thresh=1 but that thresh
doesn't exist as a format option (just "cmask edge event inv umask"
are present). I wonder if Andi or Jin you could look into this broken
metric?

Thanks,
Ian
