[PATCH] perf vendor events arm64: Update N2/V2 events from source
From: James Clark
Date: Wed Nov 20 2024 - 09:38:21 EST
Update using the new data [1] for these changes:
* Scale some metrics like dtlb_walk_ratio to percent so they display
better with Perf's 2 dp precision
* Description typos, grammar and clarifications
* Unnecessary metric formula brackets seem to have been removed in the
source but this is not a functional change
* New sve_all_percentage metric
The following command was used to generate this commit:
$ telemetry-solution/tools/perf_json_generator/generate.py \
tools/perf/ --telemetry-files \
telemetry-solution/data/pmu/cpu/neoverse/neoverse-v2.json:neoverse-n2-v2
