    perf parser: Add support to specify rXXX event with pmu · 3a6c51e4
    Jiri Olsa authored
    The current rXXXX event specification creates event under PERF_TYPE_RAW
    pmu type. This change allows to use rXXXX within pmu syntax, so it's
    type is used via the following syntax:
    
      -e 'cpu/r3c/'
      -e 'cpum_cf/r0/'
    
    The XXXX number goes directly to perf_event_attr::config the same way as
    in '-e rXXXX' event. The perf_event_attr::type is filled with pmu type.
    
    Committer testing:
    
    So, lets see what goes in perf_event_attr::config for, say, the
    'instructions' PERF_TYPE_HARDWARE (0) event, first we should look at how
    to encode this event as a PERF_TYPE_RAW event for this specific CPU, an
    AMD Ryzen 5:
    
      # cat /sys/devices/cpu/events/instructions
      event=0xc0
      #
    
    Then try with it _and_ the instruction, just to see that they are close
    enough:
    
      # perf stat -e rc0,instructions sleep 1
    
       Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1':
    
                 919,794      rc0
                 919,898      instructions
    
             1.000754579 seconds time elapsed
    
             0.000715000 seconds user
             0.000000000 seconds sys
      #
    
    Now we should try, before this patch, the PMU event encoding:
    
      # perf stat -e cpu/rc0/ sleep 1
      event syntax error: 'cpu/rc0/'
                               \___ unknown term
    
      valid terms: event,edge,inv,umask,cmask,config,config1,config2,name,period,percore
      #
    
    Now with this patch, the three ways of specifying the 'instructions' CPU
    counter are accepted:
    
      # perf stat -e cpu/rc0/,rc0,instructions sleep 1
    
       Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1':
    
                 892,948      cpu/rc0/
                 893,052      rc0
                 893,156      instructions
    
             1.000931819 seconds time elapsed
    
             0.000916000 seconds user
             0.000000000 seconds sys
