[PATCH v3 12/27] perf parse-events: Support no alias assigned event inside hybrid PMU

From: Jin Yao
Date: Mon Mar 29 2021 - 03:03:15 EST


On hybrid platform, similar to hardware event, user may want
to enable other events only on one PMU. So following syntax
should be supported:

cpu_core/<event>/
cpu_atom/<event>/

But the syntax doesn't work for some events, such as cache
event.

Before:

# perf stat -e cpu_core/LLC-loads/ -a -- sleep 1
event syntax error: 'cpu_core/LLC-loads/'
\___ unknown term 'LLC-loads' for pmu 'cpu_core'

Cache events are much more complex than hardware events, so
we can't create aliases for them. We use another solution.
For example, if we use "cpu_core/LLC-loads/", in parse_events_add_pmu(),
term->config is "LLC-loads".

We create a new "parse_events_state" with the pmu_name and use
parse_events__scanner to scan the term->config ("LLC-loads" in
this example). The parse_events_add_cache() would be called during
parsing. The parse_state->pmu_name is used to identify the pmu
where the event should be enabled on.

After:

# ./perf stat -e cpu_core/LLC-loads/ -a -- sleep 1

Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

24,593 cpu_core/LLC-loads/

1.003911601 seconds time elapsed

v3:
- Rename the patch:
'perf parse-events: Support hardware events inside PMU' -->
'perf parse-events: Support no alias assigned event inside hybrid PMU'

- Major code is moved to parse-events-hybrid.c.
- Refine the code.
