The --topdown kernel event colouring is dictated by a large if-else
statement in stat-shadow.c:perf_stat__print_shadow_stats.

There are branches depending on what is returned by
perf_stat_evsel__is() for example

} else if (perf_stat_evsel__is(evsel, TOPDOWN_FETCH_BUBBLES)) {
double fe_bound = td_fe_bound(cpu, st, &rsd);

if (fe_bound > 0.2)
color = PERF_COLOR_RED;
print_metric(config, ctxp, color, "%8.1f%%", "frontend bound",
fe_bound * 100.);
} else if (perf_stat_evsel__is(evsel, TOPDOWN_SLOTS_RETIRED)) {



Because the patches are enabling metrics (equivalent of the -M
'somemetricname' option), the perf_stat__print_shadow_stats function
always makes calls to generic_metric(), where colours are never picked.

Seeing thresholds like:

retiring > 0.7
fe_bound > 0.2
be_bound > 0.2
bad_spec > 0.1


I'm not sure about adding the colouring really. Are these thresholds
x86 specific?
