Ben, Paul:
I posted this patch to lkml but did not copy the linuxppc-dev at ozlabs.org
mailing list.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
The current L1 cache read event code 0x80082 only counts for thread 0. The
event code 0x280030 should be used to count events on thread 0 and 1. The
patch fixes the event code for the L1 cache read.
The current L1 cache write event code 0x80086 only counts for thread 0. The
event code 0x180032 should be used to count events on thread 0 and 1. The
patch fixes the event code for the L1 cache write.
FYI, the documentation lists three event codes for the L1 cache read event
and three event codes for the L1 cache write event. The event description
for the event codes is as follows:
L1 cache read requests 0x80082 LSU 0 only
L1 cache read requests 0x8008A LSU 1 only
L1 cache read requests 0x80030 LSU 1 or LSU 0, counter 2 only.
L1 cache store requests 0x80086 LSU 0 only
L1 cache store requests 0x8008E LSU 1 only
L1 cache store requests 0x80032 LSU 0 or LSU 1, counter 1 only.
There can only be one request from either LSU 0 or 1 active at a time.
