Alder Lake Hybrid system has two different types of core, Golden Cove core and Gracemont core. The Golden Cove core is registered to "cpu_core" PMU. The Gracemont core is registered to "cpu_atom" PMU. The difference between the two PMUs include: - Number of GP and fixed counters - Events - The "cpu_core" PMU supports Topdown metrics. The "cpu_atom" PMU supports PEBS-via-PT. The "cpu_core" PMU is similar to the Sapphire Rapids PMU, but without PMEM. The "cpu_atom" PMU is similar to Tremont, but with different events, event_constraints, extra_regs and number of counters. The mem-loads AUX event workaround only applies to the Golden Cove core. Users may disable all CPUs of the same CPU type on the command line or in the BIOS. For this case, perf still register a PMU for the CPU type but the CPU mask is 0. Current caps/pmu_name is usually the microarch codename. Assign the "alderlake_hybrid" to the caps/pmu_name of both PMUs to indicate the hybrid Alder Lake microarchitecture.

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.
