Does anyone know in what linux kernel version does grace-grace have support for c2c scf_pmu_1 counters?

(base) i618-091[gg](2610)$ perf stat -a -e nvidia_scf_pmu_1/event=0x0/ ls
event syntax error: 'nvidia_scf_pmu_1/event=0x0/'
                     \___ Cannot find PMU `nvidia_scf_pmu_1'. Missing kernel support?

(base) i618-091[gg](2611)$ uname -r
5.14.0-362.24.1.el9_3.aarch64+64k

Not really an Nsight Systems question, but @rknight do you know the answer.

There is a firmware bug that is causing this issue. The issue is not caused by the OS. You will need to update your system’s SBIOS to resolve it. The NVIDIA reference SBIOS 02.03.00 release contains the fix.

The “sudo dmidecode -t 0” command will dump information about your BIOS vendor and version. See the “BIOS Information” section of the output. With that information, you can check with your BIOS vendor to see if they have an update that includes the necessary NVIDIA reference SBIOS and how to apply it to your system.
