Subject[PATCH 3/4] perf parse-events: Support different format of the topdown event name
Date
From: Kan Liang <kan.liang@linux.intel.com>

The evsel->name may have a different format for a topdown event, a pure
topdown name (e.g., topdown-fe-bound), or a PMU name + a topdown name
(e.g., cpu/topdown-fe-bound/). The cpu/topdown-fe-bound/ kind format
isn't supported by the arch_evlist__leader(). This format is a very
common format for a hybrid platform, which requires specifying the PMU
name for each event.

Without the patch,

$perf stat -e '{instructions,slots,cpu/topdown-fe-bound/}' -a sleep 1

Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

<not counted> instructions
<not counted> slots
<not supported> cpu/topdown-fe-bound/

1.003482041 seconds time elapsed

Some events weren't counted. Try disabling the NMI watchdog:
echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog
perf stat ...
echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog
The events in group usually have to be from the same PMU. Try reorganizing the group.


With the patch,

perf stat -e '{instructions,slots,cpu/topdown-fe-bound/}' -a sleep 1

Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

157,383,996 slots
25,011,711 instructions
27,441,686 cpu/topdown-fe-bound/

1.003530890 seconds time elapsed

Fixes: bc355822f0d9 ("perf parse-events: Move slots only with topdown")
