perf parse-events: Handle uncore event aliases in small groups properly
Perf stat doesn't count the uncore event aliases from the same uncore block in a group, for example: perf stat -e '{unc_m_cas_count.all,unc_m_clockticks}' -a -I 1000 # time counts unit events 1.000447342 <not counted> unc_m_cas_count.all 1.000447342 <not counted> unc_m_clockticks 2.000740654 <not counted> unc_m_cas_count.all 2.000740654 <not counted> unc_m_clockticks The output is very misleading. It gives a wrong impression that the uncore event doesn't work. An uncore block could be composed by several PMUs. An uncore event alias is a joint name which means the same event runs on all PMUs of a block. Perf doesn't support mixed events from different PMUs in the same group. It is wrong to put uncore event aliases in a big group. The right way is to split the big group into multiple small groups which only include the events from the same PMU. Only uncore event aliases from the same uncore block should be specially handled here. It doesn't make sense to mix the uncore events with other uncore events from different blocks or even core events in a group.
