Subject: [RFC] perf x86 intel: Question about pebs_data_source data

hi,
I was checking with SDM (September 2015) and I'd like if you
guys could help me with understanding of following array elements

I'm reffering to Table 18-19. Data Source Encoding for Load Latency Record

 - element 5
   SDM says:

   05H L3 HIT. Local or Remote home requests that hit the L3 cache and was
   serviced by another processor core with a cross core snoop where no modified
   copies were found. (clean).

   and we have L3 SNOOP MISS:
     OP_LH | P(LVL, L3)  | P(SNOOP, MISS),   /* 0x05: L3 hit, snoop miss */

   while the SDM indicates HIT

 - element 6
   SDM says:

   L3 HIT. Local or Remote home requests that hit the L3 cache and was serviced
   by another processor core with a cross core snoop where modified copies were
   found. (HITM).
  
   and we have L3 SNOOP HIT:
     OP_LH | P(LVL, L3)  | P(SNOOP, HIT),    /* 0x06: L3 hit, snoop hit */

   while the SDM indicates HITM

I'm probably misunderstanding SDM (wouldn't be the first time) what do I miss?

thanks for comments,
jirka
