[PATCH 12/31] perf tools: Allow filter option to be applied to bof object

From: Wang Nan
Date: Sat Aug 29 2015 - 00:35:13 EST


Before this patch, --filter options can't be applied to BPF object
'events'. For example, the following command:

# perf record -e cycles -e test_bpf.o --exclude-perf -a sleep 1

doesn't apply '--exclude-perf' to events in test_bpf.o. Instead, the
filter will be applied to 'cycles' event. This is caused by the delay
manner of adding real BPF events. Because all BPF probing points are
probed by one call, we can't add real events until all BPF objects
are collected. In previous patch (perf tools: Enable passing bpf object
file to --event), nothing is appended to evlist.

This patch fixes this by utilizing the dummy event linked during
parse_events(). Filter settings goes to dummy event, and be synced with
real events in add_bpf_event().
