    pmc: pmc frontend stall analysis based on IBS
    
    The frontend command uses AMD IBS frontend events to analyze the major
    sources of frontend stalls.  It displays a table breakind down the major
    causes of front end stalls.  This is a simple demonstration of the tools
    as you can use the filtering tools to limit the analysis to a subset of
    the samples including filtering by fetch latencies.
