[PATCH 2/3] perf, tools, list: Support matching by topic

[Andi Kleen]

From: Andi Kleen <ak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Add support in perf list topic to only show events belonging to a specific
vendor events topic. For example the following works now:

% perf list frontend
List of pre-defined events (to be used in -e):

  stalled-cycles-frontend OR idle-cycles-frontend    [Hardware event]

  stalled-cycles-frontend OR cpu/stalled-cycles-frontend/ [Kernel PMU event]

frontend:
  dsb2mite_switches.count
       [Decode Stream Buffer (DSB)-to-MITE switches]
  dsb2mite_switches.penalty_cycles
       [Decode Stream Buffer (DSB)-to-MITE switch true penalty cycles]
  dsb_fill.exceed_dsb_lines
       [Cycles when Decode Stream Buffer (DSB) fill encounter more than 3 Decode Stream Buffer (DSB)
        lines]
  icache.hit
       [Number of Instruction Cache, Streaming Buffer and Victim Cache Reads. both cacheable and
        noncacheable, including UC fetches]
...
