[PATCH v1 2/4] perf stat: Don't merge events in the same PMU

[Andi Kleen]

From: Andi Kleen <ak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Event merging is mainly to collapse similar events in lots of
different duplicated PMUs.

It can break metric displaying. It's possible for two metrics
to have the same event, and when the two events happen in a row
the second wouldn't be displayed.  This would also not
show the second metric.

To avoid this don't merge events in the same PMU. This makes
sense, if we have multiple events in the same PMU there is
likely some reason for it (e.g. using multiple groups)
and we better not merge them.

While in theory it would be possible to construct metrics
that have events with the same name in different PMU no
current metrics have this problem.

This is the fix for perf stat -M UPI,IPC (needs also
another bug fix to completely work)
