perf vendor events amd: Fix large metrics

There are cases where a metric requires more events than the number of
available counters. E.g. AMD Zen, Zen 2 and Zen 3 processors have four
data fabric counters but the "nps1_die_to_dram" metric has eight events.

By default, the constituent events are placed in a group and since the
events cannot be scheduled at the same time, the metric is not computed.
The "all metrics" test also fails because of this.

Use the NO_GROUP_EVENTS constraint for such metrics which anyway expect
the user to run perf with "--metric-no-group".

E.g.

$ sudo perf test -v 101

Before:

101: perf all metrics test :
--- start ---
test child forked, pid 37131
Testing branch_misprediction_ratio
Testing all_remote_links_outbound
Testing nps1_die_to_dram
Metric 'nps1_die_to_dram' not printed in:
Error:

perf vendor events amd: Use 0x%02x format for event code and umask

Use 0x%02x format for all event codes and umasks as this helps in tracking
changes of automatically generated event tables.

perf vendor events amd: Fix broken L2 Cache Hits from L2 HWPF metric

Commit 08ed77e414ab2342 ("perf vendor events amd: Add recommended events")
added the hits event "L2 Cache Hits from L2 HWPF" with the same metric
expression as the accesses event "L2 Cache Accesses from L2 HWPF":

$ perf list --details
...
l2_cache_accesses_from_l2_hwpf
[L2 Cache Accesses from L2 HWPF]
[l2_pf_hit_l2 + l2_pf_miss_l2_hit_l3 + l2_pf_miss_l2_l3]
l2_cache_hits_from_l2_hwpf
[L2 Cache Hits from L2 HWPF]
[l2_pf_hit_l2 + l2_pf_miss_l2_hit_l3 + l2_pf_miss_l2_l3]
...

This was wrong and led to counting hits the same as accesses. Section
2.1.15.2 "Performance Measurement" of "PPR for AMD Family 17h Model 31h
B0 - 55803 Rev 0.54 - Sep 12, 2019", documents the hits event with
EventCode 0x70 which is the same as l2_pf_hit_l2.

Fix this, and massage the description for l2_pf_hit_l2 as the hits event
is now the duplicate of l2_pf_hit_l2. AMD recommends using the recommended
event over other events if the duplicate exists and maintain both for
consistency. Hence, l2_cache_hits_from_l2_hwpf should override
l2_pf_hit_l2.

Before:

# perf stat -M l2_cache_accesses_from_l2_hwpf,l2_cache_hits_from_l2_hwpf sleep 1

Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1':

1,436 l2_pf_miss_l2_l3 # 11114.00 l2_cache_accesses_from_l2_hwpf
# 11114.00 l2_cache_hits_from_l2_hwpf
4,482 l2_pf_hit_l2
5,196 l2_pf_miss_l2_hit_l3

1.001765339 seconds time elapsed

After:

# perf stat -M l2_cache_accesses_from_l2_hwpf sleep 1

Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1':

1,477 l2_pf_miss_l2_l3 # 10442.00 l2_cache_accesses_from_l2_hwpf
3,978 l2_pf_hit_l2
4,987 l2_pf_miss_l2_hit_l3

1.001491186 seconds time elapsed

# perf stat -e l2_cache_hits_from_l2_hwpf sleep 1

Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1':

3,983 l2_cache_hits_from_l2_hwpf

1.001329970 seconds time elapsed

Note the difference in performance counter values for the accesses
versus the hits after the fix, and the hits event now counting the same
as l2_pf_hit_l2.

# 08ed77e4 01-Sep-2020 Kim Phillips <kim.phillips@amd.com>

perf vendor events amd: Add recommended events

Add support for events listed in Section 2.1.15.2 "Performance
Measurement" of "PPR for AMD Family 17h Model 31h B0 - 55803
Rev 0.54 - Sep 12, 2019".

perf now supports these new events (-e):

all_dc_accesses
all_tlbs_flushed
l1_dtlb_misses
l2_cache_accesses_from_dc_misses
l2_cache_accesses_from_ic_misses
l2_cache_hits_from_dc_misses
l2_cache_hits_from_ic_misses
l2_cache_misses_from_dc_misses
l2_cache_misses_from_ic_miss
l2_dtlb_misses
l2_itlb_misses
sse_avx_stalls
uops_dispatched
uops_retired
l3_accesses
l3_misses

and these metrics (-M):

branch_misprediction_ratio
all_l2_cache_accesses
all_l2_cache_hits
all_l2_cache_misses
ic_fetch_miss_ratio
l2_cache_accesses_from_l2_hwpf
l2_cache_hits_from_l2_hwpf
l2_cache_misses_from_l2_hwpf
l3_read_miss_latency
l1_itlb_misses
all_remote_links_outbound
nps1_die_to_dram

The nps1_die_to_dram event may need perf stat's --metric-no-group
switch if the number of available data fabric counters is less
than the number it uses (8).
