[PATCH 3/3] perf list: Add 'pfm' to list libpfm4 events

From: Namhyung Kim
Date: Wed Sep 09 2020 - 01:59:14 EST


Print libpfm4 events with 'perf list pfm' command like others.
When libpfm4 support is not enabled, it'd print nothing.
Also it support glob pattern matching for event name.

$ perf list pfm

List of pre-defined events (to be used in --pfm-events):

ix86arch:
UNHALTED_CORE_CYCLES
[count core clock cycles whenever the clock signal ...
INSTRUCTION_RETIRED
[count the number of instructions at retirement. ...
...
