I am working on implementing the 'perf mem' command for Power
systems. This would for instance, let us know where in the memory
hierarchy (L1, L2, Local RAM etc) the data for a load/store
instruction was found (hit).
On Power7, if the mcmcra[DCACHE_MISS] is clear _and_ the
instruction is a load/store, then it implies a L1-hit.
Unlike on Power8, the Power7 event vector has no indication
if the instruction was load/store.
In the context of a PMU interrupt, is there any way to determine
if an instruction is a load/store ?
