PerfCCT(performance counter commit trace) is a Instruction-level
granularity perfCounter like GEM5
How to use this:
1. Make with "WITH_CHISELDB=1" argument
2. Run with "--dump-db --dump-select-db lifetime", then get the database
3. Instruction lifetime visualize run "python3 scripts/perfcct.py
"the-db-file-path" -p 1 -v | less"
4. Analysis script now is in XS-GEM5 repo, see
https://github.com/OpenXiangShan/GEM5/blob/xs-dev/util/ClockAnalysis.py
How it works:
1. Allocate one unique tag "seqNum" like GEM5 for each instruction at
fetch stage
2. Passing the "seqNum" in each pipeline
3. Recording perf data through the DPIC interface
