[RFC PATCH v3 08/18] perf stat: Add functions to get counter info

From: weilin . wang
Date: Tue Dec 12 2023 - 18:04:34 EST


From: Weilin Wang <weilin.wang@xxxxxxxxx>

Add data structure metricgroup__pmu_counters to represent hardware counters
available in the system.

Add functions to parse pmu-events and create the list of pmu_info_list to
hold the counter information of the system.

Add functions to free pmu_info_list and event_info_list before exit
grouping for hardware-grouping method

This method would fall back to normal grouping when event json files do not
support hardware aware grouping.
