[PATCH v2 00/13] Tool and hwmon PMUs

From: Ian Rogers
Date: Thu Sep 12 2024 - 15:04:01 EST


Rather than have fake and tool PMUs being special flags in an evsel,
create special PMUs. This allows, for example, duration_time to also
be tool/duration_time/. Once adding events to the tools PMU is just
adding to an array, add events for nearly all the expr literals like
num_cpus_online. Rather than create custom logic for finding and
describing the tool events use json and add a notion of common json
for the tool events.

Following the convention of the tool PMU, create a hwmon PMU that
exposes hwmon data for reading. For example, the following shows
reading the CPU temperature and 2 fan speeds alongside the uncore
frequency:
```
$ perf stat -e temp_cpu,fan1,hwmon_thinkpad/fan2/,tool/num_cpus_online/ -M UNCORE_FREQ -I 1000
1.001153138 52.00 'C temp_cpu
1.001153138 2,588 rpm fan1
1.001153138 2,482 rpm hwmon_thinkpad/fan2/
1.001153138 8 tool/num_cpus_online/
1.001153138 1,077,101,397 UNC_CLOCK.SOCKET # 1.08 UNCORE_FREQ
1.001153138 1,012,773,595 duration_time
...
```

Additional data on the hwmon events is in perf list:
```
$ perf list
...
hwmon:
...
temp_core_0 OR temp2
[Temperature in unit coretemp named Core 0. crit=100'C,max=100'C crit_alarm=0'C. Unit:
hwmon_coretemp]
...
```

v2: Address Namhyung's review feedback. Rebase dropping 4 patches
applied by Arnaldo, fix build breakage reported by Arnaldo.
