[PATCH v1 24/30] perf vendor events intel: Update jaketown TMA metrics to 4.7

From: Ian Rogers
Date: Tue Feb 13 2024 - 20:24:14 EST


Top-Down Microarchitecture Analysis (TMA) metrics simplify
cycle-accounting using microarchitecture-abstracted metrics
organized in one hierarchy. This update is from version 4.5 to
4.7.

The update includes:

- Swapped tma_info_core_ilp (becomes per SMT thread) and
tma_info_pipeline_execute (per physical core).
- Tuned thresholds for tma_fetch_bandwidth.

The update came from:

https://github.com/intel/perfmon/pull/140
https://github.com/intel/perfmon/pull/138

Running the script:

https://github.com/intel/perfmon/blob/main/scripts/create_perf_json.py
