perf parser: Add support to specify rXXX event with pmu
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 # Requested-by: Thomas Richter <tmricht@linux.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Tested-by: Thomas Richter <tmricht@linux.ibm.com> Cc: Alexander Shishkin <alexander.shishkin@linux.intel.com> Cc: Michael Petlan <mpetlan@redhat.com> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Sumanth Korikkar <sumanthk@linux.ibm.com> Cc: Vasily Gorbik <gor@linux.ibm.com> Link: http://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200416221405.437788-1-jolsa@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
