'perf stat' accepts some config terms but doesn't apply them. For example: # perf stat -e 'instructions/no-inherit/' -e 'instructions/inherit/' bash # ls # exit Performance counter stats for 'bash': 266258061 instructions/no-inherit/ 266258061 instructions/inherit/ 1.402183915 seconds time elapsed The result is confusing, because user may expect the first 'instructions' event exclude the 'ls' command. This patch forbid most of these config terms for 'perf stat'. Result: # ./perf stat -e 'instructions/no-inherit/' -e 'instructions/inherit/' bash event syntax error: 'instructions/no-inherit/' \___ 'no-inherit' is not usable in 'perf stat' ... We can add blocked config terms back when 'perf stat' really supports them. This patch also removes unavailable config term from error message: # ./perf stat -e 'instructions/badterm/' ls event syntax error: 'instructions/badterm/' \___ unknown term valid terms: config,config1,config2,name # ./perf stat -e 'cpu/badterm/' ls event syntax error: 'cpu/badterm/' \___ unknown term valid terms: pc,any,inv,edge,cmask,event,in_tx,ldlat,umask,in_tx_cp,offcore_rsp,config,config1,config2,name Signed-off-by: Wang Nan <wangnan0@huawei.com> Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com> Cc: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org> Cc: Brendan Gregg <brendan.d.gregg@gmail.com> Cc: Cody P Schafer <dev@codyps.com> Cc: He Kuang <hekuang@huawei.com> Cc: Jeremie Galarneau <jeremie.galarneau@efficios.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: Kirill Smelkov <kirr@nexedi.com> Cc: Li Zefan <lizefan@huawei.com> Cc: Masami Hiramatsu <masami.hiramatsu.pt@hitachi.com> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Zefan Li <lizefan@huawei.com> Cc: pi3orama@163.com Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1455882283-79592-11-git-send-email-wangnan0@huawei.comSigned-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
