Perf cannot parse UPI (Intel's "Ultra Path Interconnect" [1]) events.
# perf stat -e UPI_DATA_BANDWIDTH_TX
event syntax error: 'UPI_DATA_BANDWIDTH_TX'
\___ parser error
Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events
The JSON lists call the box UPI LL, while perf calls it upi. Add
conversion support to JSON to convert the unit properly.
Committer notes:
[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Ultra_Path_Interconnect
"The Intel Ultra Path Interconnect (UPI) is a point-to-point processor
interconnect developed by Intel which replaced the Intel QuickPath
Interconnect (QPI) in Xeon Skylake-SP platforms starting in 2017.
UPI is a low-latency coherent interconnect for scalable multiprocessor
systems with a shared address space. It uses a directory-based home
snoop coherency protocol with a transfer speed of up to 10.4 GT/s.
Supporting processors typically have two or three UPI links."

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.
