For some Intel platforms, such as Alderlake, which is a hybrid platform
and it consists of atom cpu and core cpu. Each cpu has dedicated event
list. Part of events are available on core cpu, part of events are
available on atom cpu.
The kernel exports new cpu pmus: cpu_core and cpu_atom. The event in
json is added with a new field "Unit" to indicate which pmu the event
is available on.
For example, one event in cache.json,
{
"BriefDescription": "Counts the number of load ops retired that",
"CollectPEBSRecord": "2",
"Counter": "0,1,2,3",
"EventCode": "0xd2",
"EventName": "MEM_LOAD_UOPS_RETIRED_MISC.MMIO",
"PEBScounters": "0,1,2,3",
"SampleAfterValue": "1000003",
"UMask": "0x80",
"Unit": "cpu_atom"
},
The unit "cpu_atom" indicates this event is only available on "cpu_atom".
In generated pmu-events.c, we can see:
{
.name = "mem_load_uops_retired_misc.mmio",
.event = "period=1000003,umask=0x80,event=0xd2",
.desc = "Counts the number of load ops retired that. Unit: cpu_atom ",
.topic = "cache",
.pmu = "cpu_atom",
},
But if without this patch, the "uncore_" prefix is added before "cpu_atom",
such as:
.pmu = "uncore_cpu_atom"
That would be a wrong pmu.

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.
