That is horrific.. (e & INTEL_ARCH_EVENT_MASK) & 0xff is just daft,
that should be: (e & ARCH_PERFMON_EVENTSEL_EVENT).

Also, we already have fake events for event=0, see FIXED2, why are we
now using event=0xff ?

I think event=0 is for genuine fixed events. Metrics events are fake events.
I didn't find FIXED2 in the code. Could you please share more hints?

cd09c0c40a97 ("perf events: Enable raw event support for Intel 
unhalted_reference_cycles event")

We used the fake event=0x00, umask=0x03 for CPU_CLK_UNHALTED.REF_TSC,
because that was not available as a generic event, *until now* it seems.
I see ICL actually has it as a generic event, which means we need to fix
up the constraint mask for that differently.


There is no change for REF_TSC on ICL.

But note that for all previous uarchs this event did not in fact exist.

It appears the TOPDOWN.SLOTS thing, which is available in in FIXED3 is
event=0x00, umask=0x04, is indeed a generic event too.

The SLOTS do have a generic event, TOPDOWN.SLOTS_P, event=0xA4, umask=0x1.

I think we need a fix as below for ICL, so the SLOT event can be extended to generic event.
-       FIXED_EVENT_CONSTRAINT(0x0400, 3),      /* SLOTS */
+       FIXED_EVENT_CONSTRAINT(0x01a4, 3),      /* TOPDOWN.SLOTS */

I will send a separate patch for it.

Thanks,
Kan
