# llcstat.py Summarize cache references and cache misses by PID.
#            Cache reference and cache miss are corresponding events defined in
#            uapi/linux/perf_event.h, it varies to different architecture.
#            On x86-64, they mean LLC references and LLC misses.
#
#            For Linux, uses BCC, eBPF. Embedded C.
#
# SEE ALSO: perf top -e cache-misses -e cache-references -a -ns pid,cpu,comm
#
# REQUIRES: Linux 4.9+ (BPF_PROG_TYPE_PERF_EVENT support).
