*Why* should it? Adding the L1 cache probably makes little or no difference when the L2/L3 caches are usually so much larger (on my laptop, there's a whole whopping 32K of L1, but 4M of L2 and no L3). It *might* make sense to report L2+L3. It would depend on who uses that number, and for what.
But adding the trace cache is just batshit crazy. [unhandled content-type:application/pgp-signature] | |
