[PATCH RFC 1/6] perf vendor events arm64: Add topdown L1 metrics for neoverse-n2
From: Jing Zhang
Date: Mon Oct 31 2022 - 07:11:54 EST
The calculation formula of topdown L1 is from the document:
https://documentation-service.arm.com/static/60250c7395978b529036da86?token=
Since neoverse-n2 does not yet support topdown L2, metricgroups such
as Cache, TLB, Branch, InstructionsMix, and PEutilization will be
added to further analysis of performance bottlenecks in the following
patches.
