perf tool: Improve bash command line auto-complete for multiple events with comma
perf has perf-completion.sh to define command line auto-completion in bash/zsh. For record/stat -e it works for single events, but isn't working when specifying multiple events with comma. It would be very useful if it could be fixed to make it easier by supporting multiple events, comma separated. With this patch, the result can be like this: 1. Support the events returned from 'perf list --raw-dump' root@skl:/tmp# perf stat -e cpu/cache<TAB> cpu/cache-misses/ cpu/cache-references/ root@skl:/tmp# perf stat -e cpu/cache-misses/,cpu/branch-<TAB> cpu/branch-instructions/ cpu/branch-misses/ root@skl:/tmp# perf stat -e cpu/cache-misses/,cpu/branch-i<TAB> root@skl:/tmp# perf stat -e cpu/cache-misses/,cpu/branch-instructions/ 2. Support the events listed in /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/events root@skl:/tmp# perf stat -e cycle<TAB> cycle_activity.cycles_l1d_miss cycle_activity.stalls_l3_miss cycle_activity.cycles_l2_miss cycle_activity.stalls_mem_any cycle_activity.cycles_l3_miss cycle_activity.stalls_total cycle_activity.cycles_mem_any cycles-ct cycle_activity.stalls_l1d_miss cycles-t cycle_activity.stalls_l2_miss root@skl:/tmp# perf stat -e cycles-<TAB> cycles-ct cycles-t root@skl:/tmp# perf stat -e cycles-t,cpu/c<TAB> cpu/cache-misses/ cpu/cpu-cycles/ cpu/cycles-t/ cpu/cache-references/ cpu/cycles-ct/ root@skl:/tmp# perf stat -e cycles-t,cpu/cache-<TAB> cpu/cache-misses/ cpu/cache-references/ root@skl:/tmp# perf stat -e cycles-t,cpu/cache-misses/ 3. Support the uppercase event which is with prefix "cpu/" root@skl:/tmp# perf stat -e cpu/c<TAB> cpu/cache-misses/ cpu/cpu-cycles/ cpu/cycles-t/ cpu/cache-references/ cpu/cycles-ct/ root@skl:/tmp# perf stat -e cpu/cache-misses/,cpu/C<TAB> cpu/CACHE-MISSES/ cpu/CPU-CYCLES/ cpu/CYCLES-T/ cpu/CACHE-REFERENCES/ cpu/CYCLES-CT/ root@skl:/tmp# perf stat -e cpu/cache-misses/,cpu/CACHE-REFERENCES/ Note that: a) This patch only supports bash. b) It doesn't support the cases like {},{} or {...,...}.
