However, due to the wrong count of stall_slot and stall_slot_frontend on neoverse-n2, the real stall_slot and real stall_slot_frontend need to subtract cpu_cycles, so correct the expression of topdown metrics. Reference from ARM neoverse-n2 errata notice [1], D117. Since neoverse-n2 does not yet support topdown L2, metricgroups such as Cache, TLB, Branch, InstructionsMix, and PEutilization will be added to further analysis of performance bottlenecks in the following patches. Reference from ARM PMU guide [2][3].
