Subject[RFC PATCH v2 0/6] Add metrics for neoverse-n2
Date
Changes since v1: 
- Corrected formula for topdown L1 due to wrong counts for stall_slot and
stall_slot_frontend;
- Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/1667214694-89839-1-git-send-email-renyu.zj@linux.alibaba.com/

This series add six metricgroups for neoverse-n2, among which, the formula of
topdown L1 is from the document:
https://documentation-service.arm.com/static/60250c7395978b529036da86?token=

Due to the wrong count of stall_slot and stall_slot_frontend in neoverse-n2, the
real stall_slot and real stall_slot_frontend need to subtract cpu_cycles, so
when calculating the topdownL1 metrics, stall_slot and stall_slot_frontend are
corrected.

Since neoverse-n2 does not yet support topdown L2, metricgroups such as Cache,
TLB, Branch, InstructionsMix, and PEutilization are added to help further
analysis of performance bottlenecks.

with this series on neoverse-n2:

$./perf list

...
Metric Groups:

Branch:
branch_miss_pred_rate
[The rate of branches mis-predited to the overall branches]
branch_mpki
[The rate of branches mis-predicted per kilo instructions]
branch_pki
[The rate of branches retired per kilo instructions]
Cache:
l1d_cache_miss_rate
[The rate of L1 D-Cache misses to the overall L1 D-Cache]
l1d_cache_mpki
[The rate of L1 D-Cache misses per kilo instructions]
...
