[PATCH V2 11/13] perf pmu: Relax uncore wildcard matching to allow numeric suffix

From: Zide Chen

Date: Wed Dec 31 2025 - 17:49:47 EST


Diamond Rapids introduces two types of PCIe related uncore PMUs:
"uncore_pcie4_*" and "uncore_pcie6_*".

To ensure that generic PCIe events (e.g., UNC_PCIE_CLOCKTICKS) can match
and collect events from both PMU types, slightly relax the wildcard
matching logic in perf_pmu__match_wildcard().

This change allows a wildcard such as "pcie" to match PMU names that
include a numeric suffix, such as "pcie4_*" and "pcie6_*".
