[PATCH v1 21/40] perf parse-events: Wildcard legacy cache events

From: Ian Rogers
Date: Wed Apr 26 2023 - 03:05:42 EST


It is inconsistent that "perf stat -e instructions-retired" wildcard
opens on all PMUs while legacy cache events like "perf stat -e
L1-dcache-load-miss" do not. A behavior introduced by hybrid is that a
legacy cache event like L1-dcache-load-miss should wildcard open on
all hybrid PMUs. A call to is_event_supported is necessary for each
PMU, a failure of which results in the event not being added. Rather
than special case that logic, move it into the main legacy cache event
case and attempt to open legacy cache events on all PMUs.
