Subject: perf pmu-events AMD: Switch l2_itlb_misses to bp_l1_tlb_miss_l2_tlb_miss.all
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=41a543c86d110073275e5294852d692e5faf6b3b;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Flinux.git

perf pmu-events AMD: Switch l2_itlb_misses to bp_l1_tlb_miss_l2_tlb_miss.all

l2_itlb_misses is a valid legacy cache event name, hence allowing it
in all_events in metric.py. l2_itlb_misses was also a json event for
AMD zen1, zen2 and zen3.

For zen4, zen5 and zen6 the checking that metric events are within the
json was skipping l2_itlb_misses as it is a valid legacy event, however,
the PMU driver lacks the event mapping causing it to be a bad event when
used in the metric.

Add bp_l1_tlb_miss_l2_tlb_miss.all as the l2 itlb miss event (bp =
branch predictor, the AMD way to say itlb), so that is used in
preference to l2_itlb_misses when the event exists.

Remove l2_itlb_misses from metric.py as the legacy event isn't used by
any metrics and having it is error prone for newer AMD zen models.
