Currently, the Sapphire Rapids and Granite Rapids share the same PMU
name, sapphire_rapids. Because from the kernel’s perspective, GNR is
similar to SPR. The only key difference is that they support different
extra MSRs. The code path and the PMU name are shared.
However, from end users' perspective, they are quite different. Besides
the extra MSRs, GNR has a newer PEBS format, supports Retire Latency,
supports new CPUID enumeration architecture, doesn't required the
load-latency AUX event, has additional TMA Level 1 Architectural Events,
etc. The differences can be enumerated by CPUID or the PERF_CAPABILITIES
MSR. They weren't reflected in the model-specific kernel setup.
But it is worth to have a distinct PMU name for GNR.

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 reStructuredText 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.
