perf evsel: Fixes topdown events in a weak group for the hybrid platform
The patch ("perf evlist: Keep topdown counters in weak group") fixes the perf metrics topdown event issue when the topdown events are in a weak group on a non-hybrid platform. However, it doesn't work for the hybrid platform. $./perf stat -e '{cpu_core/slots/,cpu_core/topdown-bad-spec/, cpu_core/topdown-be-bound/,cpu_core/topdown-fe-bound/, cpu_core/topdown-retiring/,cpu_core/branch-instructions/, cpu_core/branch-misses/,cpu_core/bus-cycles/,cpu_core/cache-misses/, cpu_core/cache-references/,cpu_core/cpu-cycles/,cpu_core/instructions/, cpu_core/mem-loads/,cpu_core/mem-stores/,cpu_core/ref-cycles/, cpu_core/cache-misses/,cpu_core/cache-references/}:W' -a sleep 1 Performance counter stats for 'system wide': 751,765,068 cpu_core/slots/ (84.07%) <not supported> cpu_core/topdown-bad-spec/ <not supported> cpu_core/topdown-be-bound/ <not supported> cpu_core/topdown-fe-bound/ <not supported> cpu_core/topdown-retiring/ 12,398,197 cpu_core/branch-instructions/ (84.07%) 1,054,218 cpu_core/branch-misses/ (84.24%) 539,764,637 cpu_core/bus-cycles/ (84.64%) 14,683 cpu_core/cache-misses/ (84.87%) 7,277,809 cpu_core/cache-references/ (77.30%) 222,299,439 cpu_core/cpu-cycles/ (77.28%) 63,661,714 cpu_core/instructions/ (84.85%) 0 cpu_core/mem-loads/ (77.29%) 12,271,725 cpu_core/mem-stores/ (77.30%) 542,241,102 cpu_core/ref-cycles/ (84.85%) 8,854 cpu_core/cache-misses/ (76.71%) 7,179,013 cpu_core/cache-references/ (76.31%) 1.003245250 seconds time elapsed A hybrid platform has a different PMU name for the core PMUs, while the current perf hard code the PMU name "cpu". The evsel->pmu_name can be used to replace the "cpu" to fix the issue. For a hybrid platform, the pmu_name must be non-NULL. Because there are at least two core PMUs. The PMU has to be specified. For a non-hybrid platform, the pmu_name may be NULL. Because there is only one core PMU, "cpu". For a NULL pmu_name, we can safely assume that it is a "cpu" PMU. In case other PMUs also define the "slots" event, checking the PMU type as well.
