Should we check the existence of the slots event before the test?
The perf metrics feature only be available on the new platform after
ICL. It doesn't work on Atom.
Also, I think the test may fails on the hybrid platform, since big core
and small core have different formula for the topdown. I think we should
avoid the test for the hybrid platform for now.
+Zhengjun, who is fixing the topdown gap for the hybrid platform. I
think he may take care of the hybrid support later.
Thanks,
