[PATCH v3] perf script: Fix output type for dynamically allocated core PMU's

[Thomas Falcon]

perf script output may show different fields on different core PMU's
that exist on heterogeneous platforms. For example,

perf record -e "{cpu_core/mem-loads-aux/,cpu_core/event=0xcd,\
umask=0x01,ldlat=3,name=MEM_UOPS_RETIRED.LOAD_LATENCY/}:upp"\
-c10000 -W -d -a -- sleep 1

perf script:

chromium-browse   46572 [002] 544966.882384:      10000 	cpu_core/MEM_UOPS_RETIRED.LOAD_LATENCY/: 7ffdf1391b0c     10268100142 \
 |OP LOAD|LVL L1 hit|SNP None|TLB L1 or L2 hit|LCK No|BLK    N/A    5   7    0   7fad7c47425d [unknown] (/usr/lib64/libglib-2.0.so.0.8000.3)

perf record -e cpu_atom/event=0xd0,umask=0x05,ldlat=3,\
name=MEM_UOPS_RETIRED.LOAD_LATENCY/upp -c10000 -W -d -a -- sleep 1

perf script:

gnome-control-c  534224 [023] 544951.816227:      10000 cpu_atom/MEM_UOPS_RETIRED.LOAD_LATENCY/:   7f0aaaa0aae0  [unknown] (/usr/lib64/libglib-2.0.so.0.8000.3)

Some fields, such as data_src, are not included by default.

The cause is that while one PMU may be assigned a type such as
PERF_TYPE_RAW, other core PMU's are dynamically allocated at boot time.
If this value does not match an existing PERF_TYPE_X value,
output_type(perf_event_attr.type) will return OUTPUT_TYPE_OTHER.

Instead search for a core PMU with a matching perf_event_attr type
and, if one is found, return PERF_TYPE_RAW to match output of other
core PMU's.

v2: restrict pmu lookup to platforms with more than one core pmu
v3: only scan core pmu list
