[PATCH v3 35/46] perf parse-events: Support hardware events as terms
From: Ian Rogers
Date: Sat Apr 29 2023 - 01:42:06 EST
An event like "cpu/instructions/" typically parses due to there being
a sysfs event called instructions. On hybrid recursive parsing means
that the hardware event is encoded in the attribute, with the PMU
being placed in the high bits of the config:
'''
$ perf stat -vv -e 'cpu_core/cycles/' true
...
------------------------------------------------------------
perf_event_attr:
size 136
config 0x400000000
sample_type IDENTIFIER
read_format TOTAL_TIME_ENABLED|TOTAL_TIME_RUNNING
disabled 1
inherit 1
enable_on_exec 1
exclude_guest 1
------------------------------------------------------------
'''
Make this behavior the default by adding a new term type and token for
hardware events. The token gathers both the numeric config and the
parsed name, so that if the token appears like "cycles/name=cycles/"
then the token can be handled like a name. The numeric value isn't
sufficient to distinguish say "cpu-cycles" from "cycles".
Extend the parse-events test so that all current non-PMU hardware
parsing tests, also test with the PMU cpu - more than half the change.
