Subject: [PATCH v1] perf pmu-events AMD: Switch l2_itlb_misses to bp_l1_tlb_miss_l2_tlb_miss.all
Date: Tue, 14 Apr 2026 10:58:55 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260414175855.2089482-1-irogers@google.com> (raw)
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.
Fixes: e596f329668e ("perf jevents: Add itlb metric group for AMD")
