[PATCH v5 11/11] perf parse-events: Warn when events are regrouped

From: Ian Rogers
Date: Sat Mar 11 2023 - 21:18:05 EST


Use if an event is reordered or the number of groups increases to
signal that regrouping has happened and warn about it. Disable the
warning in the case wild card PMU names are used and for metrics.
