perf metricgroup: Support multiple events for metricgroup
Some uncore metrics don't work as expected. For example, on cascadelakex: root@lkp-csl-2sp2:~# perf stat -M UNC_M_PMM_BANDWIDTH.TOTAL -a -- sleep 1 Performance counter stats for 'system wide': 1841092 unc_m_pmm_rpq_inserts 3680816 unc_m_pmm_wpq_inserts 1.001775055 seconds time elapsed root@lkp-csl-2sp2:~# perf stat -M UNC_M_PMM_READ_LATENCY -a -- sleep 1 Performance counter stats for 'system wide': 860649746 unc_m_pmm_rpq_occupancy.all 1840557 unc_m_pmm_rpq_inserts 12790627455 unc_m_clockticks 1.001773348 seconds time elapsed No metrics 'UNC_M_PMM_BANDWIDTH.TOTAL' or 'UNC_M_PMM_READ_LATENCY' are reported. The issue is, the case of an alias expanding to mulitple events is not supported, typically the uncore events. (see comments in find_evsel_group()). For UNC_M_PMM_BANDWIDTH.TOTAL in above example, the expanded event group is '{unc_m_pmm_rpq_inserts,unc_m_pmm_wpq_inserts}:W', but the actual events passed to find_evsel_group are: unc_m_pmm_rpq_inserts unc_m_pmm_rpq_inserts unc_m_pmm_rpq_inserts unc_m_pmm_rpq_inserts unc_m_pmm_rpq_inserts unc_m_pmm_rpq_inserts unc_m_pmm_wpq_inserts unc_m_pmm_wpq_inserts unc_m_pmm_wpq_inserts unc_m_pmm_wpq_inserts unc_m_pmm_wpq_inserts unc_m_pmm_wpq_inserts For this multiple events case, it's not supported well. This patch introduces a new field 'metric_leader' in struct evsel. The first event is considered as a metric leader. For the rest of same events, they point to the first event via it's metric_leader field in struct evsel. This design is for adding the counting results of all same events to the first event in group (the metric_leader). With this patch, root@lkp-csl-2sp2:~# perf stat -M UNC_M_PMM_BANDWIDTH.TOTAL -a -- sleep 1 Performance counter stats for 'system wide': 1842108 unc_m_pmm_rpq_inserts # 337.2 MB/sec UNC_M_PMM_BANDWIDTH.TOTAL 3682209 unc_m_pmm_wpq_inserts 1.001819706 seconds time elapsed root@lkp-csl-2sp2:~# perf stat -M UNC_M_PMM_READ_LATENCY -a -- sleep 1 Performance counter stats for 'system wide': 861970685 unc_m_pmm_rpq_occupancy.all # 219.4 ns UNC_M_PMM_READ_LATENCY 1842772 unc_m_pmm_rpq_inserts 12790196356 unc_m_clockticks 1.001749103 seconds time elapsed Now we can see the correct metrics 'UNC_M_PMM_BANDWIDTH.TOTAL' and 'UNC_M_PMM_READ_LATENCY'.
