** Description changed: [ Impact ] perf list: Add IBM z17 event descriptions Update IBM z17 counter description using document SA23-2260-08: "The Load-Program-Parameter and the CPU-Measurement Facilities" released in May 2025 to include counter definitions for IBM z17 counter sets: * Basic counter set * Problem/user counter set * Crypto counter set. Use document SA23-2261-09: "The CPU-Measurement Facility Extended Counters Definition - for z10, z196/z114, zEC12/zBC12, z13/z13s, z14, z15, z16 and z17" + for z10, z196/z114, zEC12/zBC12, z13/z13s, z14, z15, z16 and z17" released on April 2025 to include counter definitions for IBM z17 * Extended counter set * MT-Diagnostic counter set. Use document SA22-7832-14: "z/Architecture Principles of Operation." released in April 2025 to include counter definitions for IBM z17 * PAI-Crypto counter set * PAI-Extention counter set. Use document "CPU MF Formulas and Updates April 2025" released in April 2025 to include metric calculations. [ Fix ] Backport the following upstream commit to Jammy, Noble and Plucky: - 508b228942b2 perf list: Add IBM z17 event descriptions Since Jammy is missing also IBM z16 descriptions, the following commits are needed too: - 7f76b3113068 perf list: Add IBM z16 event description for s390 - 74395567a301 perf vendor events s390: Add common metrics - 850eea236f8a perf vendor events s390: Add cache metrics for z13 - add7894a25d1 perf vendor events s390: Add cache metrics for z14 - bdecfecac8ab perf vendor events s390: Add cache metrics for z15 - f8a6cea4839b perf vendor events s390: Add cache metrics for z16 - 4c290d4fa3ae perf vendor events s390: Add metric for TLB and cache - eb2feb68cb7d perf vendor events s390: Remove UTF-8 characters from JSON file - b6968f9b5035 perf list: fix short description for some cache events - c2f3d7dfc737 perf stat: Do not fail on metrics on s390 z/VM systems - b74bc5a633a7 perf report: Fix PAI counter names for s390 virtual machines - 508b228942b2 perf list: Add IBM z17 event descriptions [ Test Plan ] Boot a z17 instance and verify that z17-specific events appear in perf list: - $ perf list | grep -i z17 + $ perf list [ Regression Potential ] The regression potential of this patch is very low, since it only adds IBM z17-specific perf event descriptions without touching core perf or kernel logic. Any issues would be limited to inaccurate or unsupported counters on z17 systems, with no impact on other architectures. --- Feature Description: Support for CPU-MF counters of new IBM Z hardware in kernel, s390-tools, perf (kernel) and libpfm4. This part covers the perf tools changes. The related patches / commit IDs will be provided as soon as the required information has been publicly disclosed.
