By the way, the following events from amd_event_mapping[] are not
listed in the Milan PPR:
{ 0x7d, 0x07, PERF_COUNT_HW_CACHE_REFERENCES }
{ 0x7e, 0x07, PERF_COUNT_HW_CACHE_MISSES }
{ 0xd0, 0x00, PERF_COUNT_HW_STALLED_CYCLES_FRONTEND }
{ 0xd1, 0x00, PERF_COUNT_HW_STALLED_CYCLES_BACKEND }
Perhaps we should build a table based on amd_f17h_perfmon_event_map[]
for newer AMD processors?
So do we need another amd_f19h_perfmon_event_map[] in the host perf code ?
I think Like's other patch series to unify event mapping across kvm
and host will fix it. No?

Yes, that should fix it. But why do we even bother? What is the
downside of using PERF_TYPE_RAW all of the time?
There are few places where PERF_TYPE_HARDWARE and PERF_TYPE_RAW are treated
differently. Ex, x86_pmu_event_init(), perf_init_event(). So I think it makes
sense to keep using PERF_TYPE_HARDWARE for generalized events?
