Subject[PATCH 18/21] perf metrics: Modify setup and deduplication
From
Previously find_evsel_group was trying to share events while
mark-sweeping to eliminate unused events, this was complicated and had
issues around uncore events and grouped sharing. This was further
complicated by the event string being created while metrics and metric
groups were being added, with the string affecting the evlist order.
This change moves deduplication before event parsing. Ungrouped events
are placed in a single combined set. Groups are checked to see if an
earlier (larger) group can support their events. As the deduplication
and sharing detection is done on metric IDs before parsing, wildcard
expansion problems with uncore events are avoided. Overall the code is
simpler while working better.

An example of failing to deduplicate can be seen with a list of metrics
like the following, where in the after case multiplexing has been
avoided:

Before:
$ perf stat -M Bad_Speculation,Backend_Bound,Frontend_Bound,Retiring -a sleep 2

Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

959,620,872 uops_issued.any # 0.06 Bad_Speculation (50.03%)
2,163,072,261 cycles
# 0.09 Retiring (50.03%)

74,676,484 int_misc.recovery_cycles (50.03%)

758,599,232 uops_retired.retire_slots (49.97%)
75,807,526 int_misc.recovery_cycles (49.97%)

After:
$ sudo perf stat -M Bad_Speculation,Backend_Bound,Frontend_Bound,Retiring -a sleep 2

Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

769,694,676 uops_issued.any # 0.08 Bad_Speculation
# 0.41 Backend_Bound
1,087,548,633 cycles
# 0.38 Frontend_Bound
# 0.14 Retiring
