The EVSEL_EVENT_MASK here isn't very intention revealing, perhaps we
can remove it and do something like:

static inline bool __evsel__match(const struct evsel *evsel, u32 type,
u64 config)
{
if ((type == PERF_TYPE_HARDWARE || type ==PERF_TYPE_HW_CACHE) &&
perf_pmus__supports_extended_type())
return (evsel->core.attr.config & PERF_HW_EVENT_MASK) == config;

return evsel->core.attr.config == config;
}
#define evsel__match(evsel, t, c) __evsel__match(evsel, PERF_TYPE_##t,
PERF_COUNT_##c)

Thanks,
Ian
