See the code masking out those bits in linux/toos/perf/arch/util/header.c. For the ppc64 it just copies the equivalent of the MIDR including the revision bits.

If an event on a particular processor revision is broken or unusable it can be excluded from the list of events with a corrected list of events. There certainly have been errata listing events that do not work on specific revisions of armv8 processor implementations. >>> >> >> Then there are vendors who do not always properly implemenent MIDR or IIDRs (people who live in glass houses...). >> >> Btw, topic originally discussed here: >> https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/5/2/113 >> >> Thanks, >> John >> >>> -Will > > Hi John, > > Attached is a patch that leaves the MIDR value unmodified and uses regular expressions in the mapfile.csv instead to ignore those bits. I have verified that the changes work on ARM Cortex a53 processor. Does it look reasonable? > Hi Will, This looks ok. Personally I find the regular expression in the cpuid slightly difficult to read. I mean, for example, for the revision digit we are using a 12-char regular expression in place, which warps the cpuid string length. BTW, can you also update the pmu events README to mention that posix regular expressions in the CPUID are acceptable?

From b407d0bb7077b23675185a3e9a78f24e775f4e50 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: William Cohen <wcohen@redhat.com> Date: Tue, 20 Mar 2018 22:20:24 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] perf vendor events arm64: Use regular expressions for matching MIDR The arm64 MIDR includes bits that identifying the silicon revision and patch version of the processor. Previously the identification code would mask out those bits making it impossible to have the map file address any errata related to particular pmu events being unavailable for a specific patch level of the silicon. Using the available regular expression matching allows handling of these special cases.
