[RFC PATCH v4 07/15] perf stat: Add functions to create new group and assign events into groups

From: weilin . wang
Date: Thu Feb 08 2024 - 22:17:21 EST


From: Weilin Wang <weilin.wang@xxxxxxxxx>

Add struct metricgroup__pmu_group_list to hold the lists of groups from
different PMUs. Each PMU has one separate list.

Add struct metricgroup__group as one node (one group in the grouping
result) of the metricgroup__pmu_group_list. It uses two bitmaps to log
counter availabilities(gp counters and fixed counters).

Add functions to create group and assign event into the groups based on the
event restrictions (struct metricgroup__event_info) and counter
availability (pmu_info_list and bitmaps). New group is inserted into the
list of groups.

Add functions to handle counter bitmaps. Add functions do find and insert
operations to handle inserting event into groups.

Add function to fill all bits of one counter bitmap. Add functions to
create new groups when no counter is available in all the existing groups.
