For perf list, the CPU core PMU HW event ordering is such that not all
events may will be listed adjacent - consider this example:
$ tools/perf/perf list
List of pre-defined events (to be used in -e):
duration_time [Tool event]
branch-instructions OR cpu/branch-instructions/ [Kernel PMU event]
branch-misses OR cpu/branch-misses/ [Kernel PMU event]
bus-cycles OR cpu/bus-cycles/ [Kernel PMU event]
cache-misses OR cpu/cache-misses/ [Kernel PMU event]
cache-references OR cpu/cache-references/ [Kernel PMU event]
cpu-cycles OR cpu/cpu-cycles/ [Kernel PMU event]
cstate_core/c3-residency/ [Kernel PMU event]
cstate_core/c6-residency/ [Kernel PMU event]
cstate_core/c7-residency/ [Kernel PMU event]
cstate_pkg/c2-residency/ [Kernel PMU event]
cstate_pkg/c3-residency/ [Kernel PMU event]
cstate_pkg/c6-residency/ [Kernel PMU event]
cstate_pkg/c7-residency/ [Kernel PMU event]
cycles-ct OR cpu/cycles-ct/ [Kernel PMU event]
cycles-t OR cpu/cycles-t/ [Kernel PMU event]
el-abort OR cpu/el-abort/ [Kernel PMU event]
el-capacity OR cpu/el-capacity/ [Kernel PMU event]
Notice in the above example how the cstate_core PMU events are mixed in
the middle of the CPU core events.
For my arm64 platform, all the uncore events get mixed in, making the list
very disorganised:
page-faults OR faults [Software event]
task-clock [Software event]
duration_time [Tool event]
L1-dcache-load-misses [Hardware cache event]
L1-dcache-loads [Hardware cache event]
L1-icache-load-misses [Hardware cache event]
L1-icache-loads [Hardware cache event]
branch-load-misses [Hardware cache event]
branch-loads [Hardware cache event]
dTLB-load-misses [Hardware cache event]
dTLB-loads [Hardware cache event]
iTLB-load-misses [Hardware cache event]
iTLB-loads [Hardware cache event]
br_mis_pred OR armv8_pmuv3_0/br_mis_pred/ [Kernel PMU event]
br_mis_pred_retired OR armv8_pmuv3_0/br_mis_pred_retired/ [Kernel PMU event]
br_pred OR armv8_pmuv3_0/br_pred/ [Kernel PMU event]
br_retired OR armv8_pmuv3_0/br_retired/ [Kernel PMU event]
br_return_retired OR armv8_pmuv3_0/br_return_retired/ [Kernel PMU event]
bus_access OR armv8_pmuv3_0/bus_access/ [Kernel PMU event]
bus_cycles OR armv8_pmuv3_0/bus_cycles/ [Kernel PMU event]
cid_write_retired OR armv8_pmuv3_0/cid_write_retired/ [Kernel PMU event]
cpu_cycles OR armv8_pmuv3_0/cpu_cycles/ [Kernel PMU event]
dtlb_walk OR armv8_pmuv3_0/dtlb_walk/ [Kernel PMU event]
exc_return OR armv8_pmuv3_0/exc_return/ [Kernel PMU event]
exc_taken OR armv8_pmuv3_0/exc_taken/ [Kernel PMU event]
hisi_sccl1_ddrc0/act_cmd/ [Kernel PMU event]
hisi_sccl1_ddrc0/flux_rcmd/ [Kernel PMU event]
hisi_sccl1_ddrc0/flux_rd/ [Kernel PMU event]
hisi_sccl1_ddrc0/flux_wcmd/ [Kernel PMU event]
hisi_sccl1_ddrc0/flux_wr/ [Kernel PMU event]
hisi_sccl1_ddrc0/pre_cmd/ [Kernel PMU event]
hisi_sccl1_ddrc0/rnk_chg/ [Kernel PMU event]
...
hisi_sccl7_l3c21/wr_hit_cpipe/ [Kernel PMU event]
hisi_sccl7_l3c21/wr_hit_spipe/ [Kernel PMU event]
hisi_sccl7_l3c21/wr_spipe/ [Kernel PMU event]
inst_retired OR armv8_pmuv3_0/inst_retired/ [Kernel PMU event]
inst_spec OR armv8_pmuv3_0/inst_spec/ [Kernel PMU event]
itlb_walk OR armv8_pmuv3_0/itlb_walk/ [Kernel PMU event]
l1d_cache OR armv8_pmuv3_0/l1d_cache/ [Kernel PMU event]
l1d_cache_refill OR armv8_pmuv3_0/l1d_cache_refill/ [Kernel PMU event]
l1d_cache_wb OR armv8_pmuv3_0/l1d_cache_wb/ [Kernel PMU event]
l1d_tlb OR armv8_pmuv3_0/l1d_tlb/ [Kernel PMU event]
l1d_tlb_refill OR armv8_pmuv3_0/l1d_tlb_refill/ [Kernel PMU event]
So the events are list alphabetically. However, CPU core event listing is
special from commit

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
