Yes, there are about 20+ taken alone core events in SPR. Events like
UOPS_RETIRED.MS, FRONTEND_RETIRED.DSB_MISS,
INT_MISC.UNKNOWN_BRANCH_CYCLES, and etc.
If we run `perf stat -e` with two such kind of events, we will see multiplexing.
./perf stat -e "INT_MISC.UNKNOWN_BRANCH_CYCLES,UOPS_RETIRED.MS" -a sleep 1
Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
3,257,425 INT_MISC.UNKNOWN_BRANCH_CYCLES (50.04%)
134,098,908 UOPS_RETIRED.MS (49.96%)
1.008902540 seconds time elapsed
This multiplexing should not happen if we run only one such type of event at a time.
./perf stat -e "INT_MISC.CLEAR_RESTEER_CYCLES,UOPS_RETIRED.MS" -a sleep 1
Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
5,107,299 INT_MISC.CLEAR_RESTEER_CYCLES
21,929,170 UOPS_RETIRED.MS
1.009937991 seconds time elapsed
Should I add this example in the commit message?
Thanks,
Weilin
