Subject: [PATCH 5.15 129/276] perf arm-spe: Use SPE data source for neoverse cores
Date: Fri, 17 Oct 2025 16:53:42 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251017145147.189898172@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251017145142.382145055@linuxfoundation.org>
5.15-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Ali Saidi <alisaidi@amazon.com>
[ Upstream commit 4e6430cbb1a9f1dc0a698f93026b6178da437798 ]
When synthesizing data from SPE, augment the type with source information
for Arm Neoverse cores. The field is IMPLDEF but the Neoverse cores all use
the same encoding. I can't find encoding information for any other SPE
implementations to unify their choices with Arm's thus that is left for
future work.
This change populates the mem_lvl_num for Neoverse cores as well as the
deprecated mem_lvl namespace.
