[PATCH 09/12] perf pmu: Fix core PMU alias list for X86 platform
From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Date: Wed Apr 25 2018 - 12:01:01 EST
From: Kan Liang <kan.liang@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
When counting uncore event with alias, core event is mistakenly
involved, for example:
perf stat --no-merge -e "unc_m_cas_count.all" -C0 sleep 1
Performance counter stats for 'CPU(s) 0':
0 unc_m_cas_count.all [uncore_imc_4]
0 unc_m_cas_count.all [uncore_imc_2]
0 unc_m_cas_count.all [uncore_imc_0]
153,640 unc_m_cas_count.all [cpu]
0 unc_m_cas_count.all [uncore_imc_5]
25,026 unc_m_cas_count.all [uncore_imc_3]
0 unc_m_cas_count.all [uncore_imc_1]
1.001447890 seconds time elapsed
The reason is that current implementation doesn't check PMU name of a
event when adding its alias into the alias list for core PMU. The
uncore event aliases are mistakenly added.
This bug was introduced in:
commit 14b22ae028de ("perf pmu: Add helper function is_pmu_core to
detect PMU CORE devices")
Checking the PMU name for all PMUs on X86 and other architectures except
ARM.
There is no behavior change for ARM.
