[PATCH] perf parse: Fix event parser error for hybrid systems

[zhengjun . xing]

From: Zhengjun Xing <zhengjun.xing@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

This bug happened on hybrid systems when both cpu_core and cpu_atom
have the same event name such as "UOPS_RETIRED.MS" while their event
terms are different, then during perf stat, the event for cpu_atom
will parse fail and then no output for cpu_atom.

UOPS_RETIRED.MS -> cpu_core/period=0x1e8483,umask=0x4,event=0xc2,frontend=0x8/
UOPS_RETIRED.MS -> cpu_atom/period=0x1e8483,umask=0x1,event=0xc2/

It is because event terms in the "head" of parse_events_multi_pmu_add
will be changed to event terms for cpu_core after parsing UOPS_RETIRED.MS
for cpu_core, then when parsing the same event for cpu_atom, it still
uses the event terms for cpu_core, but event terms for cpu_atom are
different with cpu_core, the event parses for cpu_atom will fail. This
patch fixes it, the event terms should be parsed from the original
event.

This patch can work for the hybrid systems that have the same event
in more than 2 PMUs. It also can work in non-hybrid systems.

Before:

 #perf stat -v  -e  UOPS_RETIRED.MS  -a sleep 1

Using CPUID GenuineIntel-6-97-1
UOPS_RETIRED.MS -> cpu_core/period=0x1e8483,umask=0x4,event=0xc2,frontend=0x8/
Control descriptor is not initialized
UOPS_RETIRED.MS: 2737845 16068518485 16068518485

 Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

         2,737,845      cpu_core/UOPS_RETIRED.MS/

       1.002553850 seconds time elapsed

After:

 #perf stat -v  -e  UOPS_RETIRED.MS  -a sleep 1

Using CPUID GenuineIntel-6-97-1
UOPS_RETIRED.MS -> cpu_core/period=0x1e8483,umask=0x4,event=0xc2,frontend=0x8/
UOPS_RETIRED.MS -> cpu_atom/period=0x1e8483,umask=0x1,event=0xc2/
Control descriptor is not initialized
UOPS_RETIRED.MS: 1977555 16076950711 16076950711
UOPS_RETIRED.MS: 568684 8038694234 8038694234

 Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

         1,977,555      cpu_core/UOPS_RETIRED.MS/
           568,684      cpu_atom/UOPS_RETIRED.MS/
