[PATCH] perf stat: Support --cputype option for hybrid events

From: Jin Yao
Date: Thu Sep 09 2021 - 02:24:17 EST


In previous patch, we have supported the syntax which enables
the event on a specified pmu, such as:

cpu_core/<event>/
cpu_atom/<event>/

While this syntax is not very easy for applying on a set of
events or applying on a group. In following example, we have to
explicitly assign the pmu prefix.

# ./perf stat -e '{cpu_core/cycles/,cpu_core/instructions/}' -- sleep 1

Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1':

1,158,545 cpu_core/cycles/
1,003,113 cpu_core/instructions/

1.002428712 seconds time elapsed

A much easier way is:

# ./perf stat --cputype core -e '{cycles,instructions}' -- sleep 1

Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1':

1,101,071 cpu_core/cycles/
939,892 cpu_core/instructions/

1.002363142 seconds time elapsed

For this example, the '--cputype' enables the events from specified
pmu (cpu_core).

If '--cputype' conflicts with pmu prefix, '--cputype' is ignored.

# ./perf stat --cputype core -e cycles,cpu_atom/instructions/ -a -- sleep 1

Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

21,003,407 cpu_core/cycles/
367,886 cpu_atom/instructions/

1.002203520 seconds time elapsed
