[PATCH v9 1/7] perf pmu: "Compat" supports regular expression matching identifiers

[Jing Zhang]

The jevent "Compat" is used for uncore PMU alias or metric definitions.

The same PMU driver has different PMU identifiers due to different
hardware versions and types, but they may have some common PMU event.
Since a Compat value can only match one identifier, when adding the
same event alias to PMUs with different identifiers, each identifier
needs to be defined once, which is not streamlined enough.

So let "Compat" support using regular expression to match identifiers
for uncore PMU alias. For example, if the "Compat" value is set to
"43401|43c01", it would be able to match PMU identifiers such as "43401"
or "43c01", which correspond to CMN600_r0p0 or CMN700_r0p0.
