Messages sorted by: [ date ] [ thread ] [ subject ] [ author ]

Update the skylake events from 53 to 54. Generation was done using
https://github.com/intel/perfmon.

Notable changes are updated events and event descriptions, TMA metrics
are updated to version 4.5, TMA info metrics are renamed from their
node name to be lower case and prefixed by tma_info_ and
MetricThreshold expressions are added, smi_cost and transaction metric
groups are added replicating existing hard coded metrics in
stat-shadow.
