different things mean different in their respective instruction pipeline. These
two Power7 raw events are the closest approximation to the concept detailed in
Ingo's comment.
[PERF_COUNT_HW_STALLED_CYCLES_FRONTEND] = 0x100f8, /* GCT_NOSLOT_CYC */
It means cycles when the Global Completion Table has no slots from this thread
[PERF_COUNT_HW_STALLED_CYCLES_BACKEND] = 0x4000a, /* CMPLU_STALL */
It means no groups completed and GCT not empty for this thread
