[PATCH 2/2] perf vendor events arm64: Add Cortex-A520 events/metrics

Yangyu Chen
2025-02-13T15:31:19Z

Add JSON files for Cortex-A520 events and metrics. Using the existing
Neoverse N3 JSON files as a template, I manually checked the missing and
extra events/metrics using my script [1] and modified them according to
the Arm Cortex-A520 Core Technical Reference Manual [2].
