[PATCH v1 5/6] perf tools: Use pmus to describe type from attribute

From: Ian Rogers
Date: Thu Mar 07 2024 - 03:15:41 EST


When dumping a perf_event_attr, use pmus to find the PMU and its name
by the type number. This allows dynamically added PMUs to be described.

Before:
```
$ perf stat -vv -e data_read true
..
perf_event_attr:
type 24
size 136
config 0x20ff
sample_type IDENTIFIER
read_format TOTAL_TIME_ENABLED|TOTAL_TIME_RUNNING
disabled 1
inherit 1
exclude_guest 1
..
```

After:
```
$ perf stat -vv -e data_read true
..
perf_event_attr:
type 24 (uncore_imc_free_running_0)
size 136
config 0x20ff
sample_type IDENTIFIER
read_format TOTAL_TIME_ENABLED|TOTAL_TIME_RUNNING
disabled 1
inherit 1
exclude_guest 1
..
```

However, it also means that when we have a PMU name we prefer it to a
hard coded name:

Before:
```
$ perf stat -vv -e cycles true
..
perf_event_attr:
type 1 (PERF_TYPE_SOFTWARE)
size 136
config 0x2 (PERF_COUNT_SW_PAGE_FAULTS)
sample_type IDENTIFIER
read_format TOTAL_TIME_ENABLED|TOTAL_TIME_RUNNING
disabled 1
inherit 1
enable_on_exec 1
exclude_guest 1
..
```

After:
```
$ perf stat -vv -e faults true
..
perf_event_attr:
type 1 (software)
size 136
config 0x2 (PERF_COUNT_SW_PAGE_FAULTS)
sample_type IDENTIFIER
read_format TOTAL_TIME_ENABLED|TOTAL_TIME_RUNNING
disabled 1
inherit 1
enable_on_exec 1
exclude_guest 1
..
```

It feels more consistent to do this, rather than only prefer a PMU
name when a hard coded name isn't available.
