[PATCHv3 0/6] perf, tool: Allow to use hw events in PMU syntax

From: Jiri Olsa
Date: Mon Jul 09 2012 - 16:38:08 EST


hi,
here's the change to make following syntax available:
perf stat -e cpu/event=instructions/u ls

this is identical to:
perf stat -e instructions:u ls

v3 changes:
- patches v2 1,5,6,9 are already in
- patch 1 - sysfs 'events' attribute file names with dashes '-'
- using 'event/umask/inv/cmask' terms assigments instead simple 'config'
- patch 2 - undefined events sysfs attributes filtered out

v2 changes:
- making the hw events translations available under the 'events',
the userspace trnaslation is then done by existing term aliasing
code with some little tweeks ;)
- patches 1-3 are independent fixies

Attached patches:
1/6 perf, x86: Making hardware events translations available in sysfs
2/6 perf, x86: Filter out undefined events from sysfs events attribute
3/6 perf, tool: Fix pmu object alias initialization
4/6 perf, tool: Properly free format data
5/6 perf, tool: Add support to specify hw event as pmu event term
6/6 perf, test: Add automated tests for pmu sysfs translated events
