I have NDA access to at least some of the Ryzen documentation and I
haven't been able to find anything more on the performance counters
other than:

AMD64 Architecture Programmer’s Manual
Volume 2: System Programming
3.27 December 2016

This document is already publicly available.

I also have one of the chips so I can test code. If there are specific
questions I can also forward them through our AMD contacts.
