By default, we create two hybrid cache events, one is for cpu_core, and
another is for cpu_atom. But Some hybrid hardware cache events are only
available on one CPU PMU. For example, the 'L1-dcache-load-misses' is only
available on cpu_core, while the 'L1-icache-loads' is only available on
cpu_atom. We need to remove "not supported" hybrid cache events. By
extending is_event_supported() to global API and using it to check if the
hybrid cache events are supported before being created, we can remove the
"not supported" hybrid cache events.
Before:
# ./perf stat -e L1-dcache-load-misses,L1-icache-loads -a sleep 1
Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
52,570 cpu_core/L1-dcache-load-misses/
<not supported> cpu_atom/L1-dcache-load-misses/
<not supported> cpu_core/L1-icache-loads/
1,471,817 cpu_atom/L1-icache-loads/
1.004915229 seconds time elapsed
After:
# ./perf stat -e L1-dcache-load-misses,L1-icache-loads -a sleep 1
Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
54,510 cpu_core/L1-dcache-load-misses/
1,441,286 cpu_atom/L1-icache-loads/

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.
