[PATCH 43/49] perf stat: Add default hybrid events

From: kan . liang
Date: Mon Feb 08 2021 - 13:18:14 EST

From: Jin Yao <yao.jin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Previously if '-e' is not specified in perf stat, some software events
and hardware events are added to evlist by default.

root@otcpl-adl-s-2:~# ./perf stat -- ./triad_loop

Performance counter stats for './triad_loop':

109.43 msec task-clock # 0.993 CPUs utilized
1 context-switches # 0.009 K/sec
0 cpu-migrations # 0.000 K/sec
105 page-faults # 0.960 K/sec
401,161,982 cycles # 3.666 GHz
1,601,216,357 instructions # 3.99 insn per cycle
200,217,751 branches # 1829.686 M/sec
14,555 branch-misses # 0.01% of all branches

0.110176860 seconds time elapsed

Among the events, cycles, instructions, branches and branch-misses
are hardware events.

One hybrid platform, two events are created for one hardware event.

core cycles,
atom cycles,
core instructions,
atom instructions,
core branches,
atom branches,
core branch-misses,
atom branch-misses

These events will be added to evlist in order on hybrid platform
if '-e' is not set.

Since parse_events() has been supported to create two hardware events
for one event on hybrid platform, so we just use parse_events(evlist,
"cycles,instructions,branches,branch-misses") to create the default
events and add them to evlist.

We can see two events are created for one hardware event.
First one is core event the second one is atom event.

One thing is, the shadow stats looks a bit different, now it's just
'M/sec'.

The perf_stat__update_shadow_stats and perf_stat__print_shadow_stats
need to be improved in future if we want to get the original shadow
stats.
