[PATCH v2 04/20] perf jevents: Add tsx metric group for Intel models

From: Ian Rogers
Date: Fri Mar 01 2024 - 14:00:08 EST


Allow duplicated metric to be dropped from json files. Detect when TSX
is supported by a model by using the json events, use sysfs events at
runtime as hypervisors, etc. may disable TSX.
