[PATCH v2 2/2] perf tools: Fix pattern matching for same substring in different pmu type

From: Jin Yao
Date: Wed Jun 30 2021 - 08:10:49 EST


Some different pmu types may have same substring. For example,
on Icelake server, we have pmu types "uncore_imc" and
"uncore_imc_free_running". Both pmu types have substring "uncore_imc".
But the parser would wrongly think they are the same pmu type.

We enable an imc event,
perf stat -e uncore_imc/event=0xe3/ -a -- sleep 1

Perf actually expands the event to:
uncore_imc_0/event=0xe3/
uncore_imc_1/event=0xe3/
uncore_imc_2/event=0xe3/
uncore_imc_3/event=0xe3/
uncore_imc_4/event=0xe3/
uncore_imc_5/event=0xe3/
uncore_imc_6/event=0xe3/
uncore_imc_7/event=0xe3/
uncore_imc_free_running_0/event=0xe3/
uncore_imc_free_running_1/event=0xe3/
uncore_imc_free_running_3/event=0xe3/
uncore_imc_free_running_4/event=0xe3/

That's because the "uncore_imc_free_running" matches the
pattern "uncore_imc*".

Now we check that the last characters of pmu name is
'_<digit>'.

For pattern "uncore_imc*", "uncore_imc_0" is parsed ok,
but "uncore_imc_free_running_0" is failed.
