[PATCH v2] tools/perf: Fix ratio_to_prev event parsing test

From: Thomas Falcon

Date: Thu Mar 26 2026 - 14:04:57 EST


test__ratio_to_prev() assumed the first event in a group is the leader,
which is not the case when the event is expanded into two event groups
on hybrid PMU's with auto counter reload support. This patch updates the
test to iterate over the event group generated for each core PMU. Also
update "wrong leader" test to check that the subordinate event has the
correct leader instead of checking that it is not the group leader.

Fixes: 56be0fe5f62c ("perf record: Add auto counter reload parse and regression tests")
