There are cases where a metric requires more events than the number of available counters. E.g. AMD Zen, Zen 2 and Zen 3 processors have four data fabric counters but the "nps1_die_to_dram" metric has eight events. By default, the constituent events are placed in a group and since the events cannot be scheduled at the same time, the metric is not computed. The "all metrics" test also fails because of this. Use the NO_GROUP_EVENTS constraint for such metrics which anyway expect the user to run perf with "--metric-no-group". E.g. $ sudo perf test -v 101 Before: 101: perf all metrics test : --- start --- test child forked, pid 37131 Testing branch_misprediction_ratio Testing all_remote_links_outbound Testing nps1_die_to_dram Metric 'nps1_die_to_dram' not printed in: Error: Invalid event (dram_channel_data_controller_4) in per-thread mode, enable system wide with '-a'.

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.
