The L2 cache perf driver is named 'l2cache_counters' and can be
used with perf tool to profile L2 cache events as below
=> DDR read (Read-Shared, Read-Unique, Read-Clean and
Read-Not-Shared-Dirty transactions on GNOC Interface)
=> DDR write (Write-Back, Write-Clean and Write-Evict transactions
on GNOC Interface
=> SNOOP Read (Read-Once, Read-Shared, Read-Unique, Read-Clean and
Read-Not-Shared-Dirty transactions from GNOC to Cluster interface)
=> ACP Write(Write-Back, Write-Clean and Write-Evict transactions
to ACP port of Collapsed Cluster)
=> Tenure counter(Low-Power mode tenure is used to count tenure (no. of XO-
19.2MHz) of L2 Low-Power mode.
=> Low/Mid/High occurrence counter: Based on threshold set for low and mid
tenure counter, current tenure count is compared and based on which
category it belongs, respective occurrence counter gets incremented.
e.g:
1. 0 < Current Tenure <= Low-tenure threshold : Low-Tenure
2. Low-tenure < Current Tenure <= Mid-tenure threshold : Mid-Tenure
3. Mid-tenure < Current tenure : High-Tenure
