[PATCH 1/2] perf/x86/amd/core: Update stalled-cycles-* events for Zen 2 and later

From: Sandipan Das
Date: Mon Mar 25 2024 - 09:35:00 EST


AMD processors based on Zen 2 and later microarchitectures do not
support PMCx087 (instruction pipe stalls) which is used as the backing
event for "stalled-cycles-frontend" and "stalled-cycles-backend". Use
PMCx0A9 (cycles where micro-op queue is empty) instead to count frontend
stalls and remove the entry for backend stalls since there is no direct
replacement.
