This is extremely confusing when monitoring the same workload across Intel and AMD machines, since parameters like, $ perf stat -e cache-references,cache-misses measure completely different things. Instead, make the AMD PMU measure instruction/data cache and TLB fill requests to the L2 and instruction/data cache and TLB misses in the L2 when HW_CACHE_REFERENCES and HW_CACHE_MISSES are enabled, respectively. That way the events measure unified caches on both platforms.
