perf parse-events: Support different format of the topdown event name
The evsel->name may have a different format for a topdown event, a pure topdown name (e.g., topdown-fe-bound), or a PMU name + a topdown name (e.g., cpu/topdown-fe-bound/). The cpu/topdown-fe-bound/ kind format isn't supported by the arch_evlist__leader(). This format is a very common format for a hybrid platform, which requires specifying the PMU name for each event. Without the patch, $ perf stat -e '{instructions,slots,cpu/topdown-fe-bound/}' -a sleep 1 Performance counter stats for 'system wide': <not counted> instructions <not counted> slots <not supported> cpu/topdown-fe-bound/ 1.003482041 seconds time elapsed Some events weren't counted. Try disabling the NMI watchdog: echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog perf stat ... echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog The events in group usually have to be from the same PMU. Try reorganizing the group. With the patch, $ perf stat -e '{instructions,slots,cpu/topdown-fe-bound/}' -a sleep 1 Performance counter stats for 'system wide': 157,383,996 slots 25,011,711 instructions 27,441,686 cpu/topdown-fe-bound/ 1.003530890 seconds time elapsed Fixes: bc355822 ("perf parse-events: Move slots only with topdown") Reviewed-by: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com> Signed-off-by: Kan Liang <kan.liang@linux.intel.com> Cc: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Cc: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Cc: Xing Zhengjun <zhengjun.xing@linux.intel.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20220518143900.1493980-4-kan.liang@linux.intel.comSigned-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
