perf parser: Add support to specify rXXX event with pmu
The current rXXXX event specification creates event under PERF_TYPE_RAW
pmu type. This change allows to use rXXXX within pmu syntax, so it's
type is used via the following syntax:
-e 'cpu/r3c/'
-e 'cpum_cf/r0/'
The XXXX number goes directly to perf_event_attr::config the same way as
in '-e rXXXX' event. The perf_event_attr::type is filled with pmu type.
Committer testing:
So, lets see what goes in perf_event_attr::config for, say, the
'instructions' PERF_TYPE_HARDWARE (0) event, first we should look at how
to encode this event as a PERF_TYPE_RAW event for this specific CPU, an
AMD Ryzen 5:
# cat /sys/devices/cpu/events/instructions
event=0xc0
#
Then try with it _and_ the instruction, just to see that they are close
enough:
# perf stat -e rc0,instructions sleep 1
Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1':
919,794 rc0
919,898 instructions
1.000754579 seconds time elapsed
0.000715000 seconds user
0.000000000 seconds sys
#
Now we should try, before this patch, the PMU event encoding:
# perf stat -e cpu/rc0/ sleep 1
event syntax error: 'cpu/rc0/'
\___ unknown term
valid terms: event,edge,inv,umask,cmask,config,config1,config2,name,period,percore
#
Now with this patch, the three ways of specifying the 'instructions' CPU
counter are accepted:
# perf stat -e cpu/rc0/,rc0,instructions sleep 1
Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1':
892,948 cpu/rc0/
893,052 rc0
893,156 instructions
1.000931819 seconds time elapsed
0.000916000 seconds user
0.000000000 seconds sys
