Subject: [PATCH v8 50/52] perf jevents: Add collection of topdown like metrics
for arm64
Metrics are created using legacy, common and recommended events. As
events may be missing a TryEvent function will give None if an event
is missing. To workaround missing JSON events for cortex-a53, sysfs
encodings are used.
