[ Upstream commit c2f3d7dfc7373d53286f2a5c882d3397a5070adc ]
On s390 z/VM virtual machines command 'perf list' also displays metrics:
# perf list | grep -A 20 'Metric Groups:'
Metric Groups:
No_group:
cpi
[Cycles per Instruction]
est_cpi
[Estimated Instruction Complexity CPI infinite Level 1]
finite_cpi
[Cycles per Instructions from Finite cache/memory]
l1mp
[Level One Miss per 100 Instructions]
l2p
[Percentage sourced from Level 2 cache]
l3p
[Percentage sourced from Level 3 on same chip cache]
l4lp
[Percentage sourced from Level 4 Local cache on same book]
l4rp
[Percentage sourced from Level 4 Remote cache on different book]
memp
[Percentage sourced from memory]
....
#
The command
# perf stat -M cpi -- true
event syntax error: '{CPU_CYCLES/metric-id=CPU_CYCLES/.....'
\___ Bad event or PMU
Unable to find PMU or event on a PMU of 'CPU_CYCLES'
event syntax error: '{CPU_CYCLES/metric-id=CPU_CYCLES/...'
\___ Cannot find PMU `CPU_CYCLES'.
Missing kernel support?

fails. 'perf stat' should not fail on metrics when the referenced CPU
Counter Measurement PMU is not available.
Output after:
# perf stat -M est_cpi -- sleep 1
Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1':

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
