[PATCH] perf tool: Improve bash command line auto-complete for multiple events with comma

[Jin Yao]

perf has perf-completion.sh to define command line auto-completion in
bash/zsh.

For record/stat -e it works for single events, but not working when
specifying multiple events with comma.

This would be very useful if it could be fixed to make it easier by
supporting of multiple events with comma.

With this patch, the result could be:

1. Support the events returned from 'perf list --raw-dump'

root@skl:/tmp# perf stat -e cpu/cache <TAB>
cpu/cache-misses/      cpu/cache-references/

root@skl:/tmp# perf stat -e cpu/cache-misses/,cpu/branch- <TAB>
cpu/branch-instructions/  cpu/branch-misses/

root@skl:/tmp# perf stat -e cpu/cache-misses/,cpu/branch-i <TAB>
root@skl:/tmp# perf stat -e cpu/cache-misses/,cpu/branch-instructions/

2. Support the events listed in /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/events

root@skl:/tmp# perf stat -e cycle <TAB>
cycle_activity.cycles_l1d_miss  cycle_activity.stalls_l3_miss
cycle_activity.cycles_l2_miss   cycle_activity.stalls_mem_any
cycle_activity.cycles_l3_miss   cycle_activity.stalls_total
cycle_activity.cycles_mem_any   cycles-ct
cycle_activity.stalls_l1d_miss  cycles-t
cycle_activity.stalls_l2_miss

root@skl:/tmp# perf stat -e cycles- <TAB>
cycles-ct  cycles-t

root@skl:/tmp# perf stat -e cycles-t,cpu/c <TAB>
cpu/cache-misses/      cpu/cpu-cycles/        cpu/cycles-t/
cpu/cache-references/  cpu/cycles-ct/

root@skl:/tmp# perf stat -e cycles-t,cpu/cache- <TAB>
cpu/cache-misses/      cpu/cache-references/

root@skl:/tmp# perf stat -e cycles-t,cpu/cache-misses/

3. Support the uppercase event which is with prefix "cpu/"

root@skl:/tmp# perf stat -e cpu/c <TAB>
cpu/cache-misses/      cpu/cpu-cycles/        cpu/cycles-t/
cpu/cache-references/  cpu/cycles-ct/

root@skl:/tmp# perf stat -e cpu/cache-misses/,cpu/C <TAB>
cpu/CACHE-MISSES/      cpu/CPU-CYCLES/        cpu/CYCLES-T/
cpu/CACHE-REFERENCES/  cpu/CYCLES-CT/

root@skl:/tmp# perf stat -e cpu/cache-misses/,cpu/CACHE-REFERENCES/

Note that:

a) This patch only supports bash.

b) It doesn't support the cases like {},{} or {...,...}.
