[PATCH v7 1/2] perf pmu: Add PMU alias support

From: Jin Yao
Date: Thu Sep 02 2021 - 03:01:54 EST


From: Kan Liang <kan.liang@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

A perf uncore PMU may have two PMU names, a real name and an alias. The
alias is exported at /sys/bus/event_source/devices/uncore_*/alias.
The perf tool should support the alias as well.

Add alias_name in the struct perf_pmu to store the alias. For the PMU
which doesn't have an alias. It's NULL.

Introduce two X86 specific functions to retrieve the real name and the
alias separately.

Only go through the sysfs to retrieve the mapping between the real name
and the alias once. The result is cached in a list, uncore_pmu_list.

Nothing changed for the other ARCHs.

With the patch, the perf tool can monitor the PMU with either the real
name or the alias.

Use the real name,
$ perf stat -e uncore_cha_2/event=1/ -x,
4044879584,,uncore_cha_2/event=1/,2528059205,100.00,,

Use the alias,
$ perf stat -e uncore_type_0_2/event=1/ -x,
3659675336,,uncore_type_0_2/event=1/,2287306455,100.00,,

v7:
- Create 'struct perf_pmu_alias_name' constructor/destructor.
- Return '-errno' if opendir() is failed.

v6:
- Call setup_pmu_alias_list in pmu_find_alias_name.
- Check pmu->name and pmu->alias_name after strdup in pmu_lookup.

v5:
- Don't use strdup in pmu_find_real_name and pmu_find_alias_name.
Just return name and keep the 'pmu->name = strdup(name);' in
pmu_lookup.

- Remove invalid comment for alias_name in struct perf_pmu.

v4:
- Fix memory leaks in pmu_lookup.
- Rebase to perf/core.

v3:
- Use fgets to read alias string from sysfs.
- Resource cleanup.

v2:
- No change.
