[RFC 00/10] perf tools: Add support to reuse metric

[Jiri Olsa]

hi,
this patchset is adding the support to reused metric in another 
metric. The metric needs to be referenced by 'metric:' prefix.

For example, to define IPC by using CPI with change like:

         "BriefDescription": "Instructions Per Cycle (per Logical Processor)",
 -       "MetricExpr": "INST_RETIRED.ANY / CPU_CLK_UNHALTED.THREAD",
 +       "MetricExpr": "1/metric:CPI",
         "MetricGroup": "TopDownL1",
         "MetricName": "IPC"

I won't be able to find all the possible places we could
use this at, so I wonder you guys (who was asking for this)
would try it and come up with comments if there's something
missing or we could already use it at some places.

It's based on Arnaldo's tmp.perf/core.

  perf/metric

thanks,
jirka
