[PATCH] perf evlist: Move the modifier after the slash when rename a hybrid event

From: kan . liang
Date: Fri Dec 15 2023 - 12:59:24 EST


From: Kan Liang <kan.liang@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The event name shown in the perf top is wrong on a hybrid machine.
$perf top
1K cpu_atom/cycles:P/
11K cpu_core/cycles:P/

If using it on the command line:

$perf top -e cpu_atom/cycles:P/
event syntax error: 'cpu_atom/cycles:P/'
\___ Bad event or PMU

The evlist__uniquify_name() changes a hybrid event name to "//" style.
When using the "//" style, the event modifiers must be appended after
the last "/".

Split the old name into event and modifier. Apply the correct format for
the "//" style.

The patch fixes the same issue on the perf record as well.
