NAME
amd_f17h_zen2_events - AMD Family 17h Zen2 processor performance
monitoring events
DESCRIPTION
This manual page describes events specfic to AMD Family 17h Zen2
processors. For more information, please consult the appropriate AMD
BIOS and Kernel Developer's guide or Open-Source Register Reference.
Each of the events listed below includes the AMD mnemonic which matches
the name found in the AMD manual and a brief summary of the event. If
available, a more detailed description of the event follows and then
any additional unit values that modify the event. Each unit can be
combined to create a new event in the system by placing the '.'
character between the event name and the unit name.
The following events are supported:
FpRetSseAvxOps Core::X86::Pmc::Core::FpRetSseAvxOps - Retired SSE/AVX FLOPs
This is a retire-based event. The number of retired SSE/AVX
FLOPs. The number of events logged per cycle can vary from 0 to
64. This event is a MergeEvent since it can count above 15.
This event has the following units which may be used to modify
the behavior of the event:
MacFLOPs MacFLOPs count as 2 FLOPs. Does not provide a useful
count without use of the MergeEvent feature.
DivFLOPs Divide/square root FLOPs. Does not provide a useful
count without use of the MergeEvent feature.
MultFLOPs Multiply FLOPs. Does not provide a useful count without
use of the MergeEvent feature.
AddSubFLOPs Add/subtract FLOPs. Does not provide a useful count
without use of the MergeEvent feature.
FpRetiredSerOps Core::X86::Pmc::Core::FpRetiredSerOps - Retired Serializing Ops
The number of serializing Ops retired.
This event has the following units which may be used to modify
the behavior of the event:
SseBotRet SSE bottom-executing uOps retired.
SseCtrlRet SSE control word mispredict traps due to mispredictions
in RC, FTZ or DAZ, or changes in mask bits.
X87BotRet x87 bottom-executing uOps retired.
X87CtrlRet x87 control word mispredict traps due to mispredictions
in RC or PC, or changes in mask bits.

x87FillFault x87 Fill fault.
LsBadStatus2 Core::X86::Pmc::Core::LsBadStatus2 - Bad Status 2
Store To Load Interlock (STLI) are loads that were unable to
complete because of a possible match with an older store, and
the older store could not do STLF for some reason. There are a
number of reasons why this occurs, and this perfmon organizes
them into three major groups.
This event has the following units which may be used to modify
the behavior of the event:
StliOther Non-forwardable conflict; used to reduce STLI's via
software. All reasons. The most common among these is
that there is only a partial overlap between the store
and the load, for example there's an 8B store to
address A and a 16B load starting at address A. STLF
can't be performed in this case because only some of
the load's data is coming from the store, so the load
gets StliOther. Another StliOther case is if the load
hits a non-cacheable store that's sitting in the non-
cacheable buffers (WCBs).

speculative event.
