Comment 8 William Cohen 2022-05-08 16:59:36 UTC 
zen2/zen3 support should be in libpfm-4.10.1-5.el8.
Comment 13 William Cohen 2022-05-13 17:48:37 UTC 
@mkolar could you check the proposed z-stream rpms in the scratch builds and verify that they fufill comment #11:

7. Prepare a RHEL rpm scratch build and have this change validated on the latest RHEL milestone compose by someone other than the developer. A comment must be added to the Bugzilla indicating the validation is successful and there were no observed regressions.
Comment 14 Michal Kolar 2022-05-16 10:40:06 UTC 
Working on it.
Comment 15 Michal Kolar 2022-05-16 16:40:10 UTC 
(In reply to William Cohen from comment #13)
@wcohen no regression was observed during testing of the proposed scratch builds.

@fandrieu could you provide an OtherQA flag since the customer is able to help with testing?
Comment 16 William Cohen 2022-05-16 19:29:43 UTC 
I reserved a zen3 machine Friday in beaker and tried out the libpfm and papi and compared to the existing rhel8.6 rpms the results were definitely better.
