[PATCH] perf stat: Fix uniquify for hybrid systems

From: Thomas Falcon
Date: Fri Feb 28 2025 - 14:54:27 EST


Currently, perf stat is omitting the pmu name for legacy events
on hybrid systems. git bisect indicated commit 357b965deba9 as the cause:

[357b965deba9fb71467413e473764ec4e1694d8d] perf stat: Changes to event
name uniquification

Include an additional check for hybrid architectures when determining
whether to uniquify legacy events.

Before:

$ sudo ./perf stat -e cycles -a sleep 1

Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

173,903,751 cycles
666,423,950 cycles

1.006615048 seconds time elapsed

After:

$ sudo ./perf stat -e cycles -a sleep 1

Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

841,496,603 cpu_atom/cycles/
3,308,929,412 cpu_core/cycles/

1.002483283 seconds time elapsed

Fixes: 357b965deba9 ("perf stat: Changes to event name uniquification")
