[PATCH] drivers/perf: apple_m1: Add macOS 27 M2 Event
From: Myria Sarvay via B4 Relay
Date: Sat Sep 12 2026 - 04:11:13 EST
From: Myria Sarvay <myrialsarvay@xxxxxxxxx>
This patch adds another known PMU event that can be found under
/usr/share/kpep on macOS 27 for M2 macs. INST_SIMD_ALU_VEC purports to
count "Retired non-load/store vector Advanced SIMD instructions", and as
we already noted, can only be registered on counter 7. Though this event
only shows up on the M2 kpep records, it can be set on M1 CPUs, and
records something.
