With the introduction of the OMR feature, the PEBS memory auxiliary info field for load and store latency events has been restructured for DMR. The memory auxiliary info field's bit[8] indicates whether a L2 cache miss occurred for a memory load or store instruction. If bit[8] is 0, it signifies no L2 cache miss, and bits[7:0] specify the exact cache data source (up to the L2 cache level). If bit[8] is 1, bits[7:0] represent the OMR encoding, indicating the specific L3 cache or memory region involved in the memory access. A significant enhancement is OMR encoding provides up to 8 fine-grained memory regions besides the cache region. A significant enhancement for OMR encoding is the ability to provide up to 8 fine-grained memory regions in addition to the cache region, offering more detailed insights into memory access regions. For detailed information on the memory auxiliary info encoding, please refer to section 16.2 "PEBS LOAD LATENCY AND STORE LATENCY FACILITY" in the ISE documentation. This patch ensures that the PEBS memory auxiliary info field is correctly interpreted and utilized in DMR.
