Did you test this? IIRC if there is no number in the ScaleUnit then
the scale factor becomes 0 and the metric value is always multiplied
by zero. Perhaps:

"MetricName": "itlb_miss_rate",
"MetricExpr": "ITLB / INST_RETIRED"
"ScaleUnit": "1000MPKI"

Thanks,
Ian
You are absolutely right, I only tested TLB metrics. Sorry for not double checking. I will repost the corrected patches.
I rethought it. I want to change the ScaleUnit to "1MPKI" and keep the MetricExpr multiplied by 1000,
so that the "MetricExpr" expresses the value of per kilo instruciton, which can be consistent with the
description in "BriefDescription". Like:
   {
        "MetricExpr": "DTLB_WALK / INST_RETIRED * 1000",
        "BriefDescription": "The rate of TLB Walks per kilo instructions for data accesses",
        "MetricGroup": "TLB",
        "MetricName": "dtlb_mpki",
        "ScaleUnit": "1MPKI"
    },


In addition, I think it is more reasonable for ScaleUnit to have a default scale factor of 1 when there
is no number. I want to try to fix this bug.

Ian, what's your opnion?
