IBS used to allow event creation via core pmu events with precise_ip
attribute set, but it's broken since late 2019. 1st patch fixes the
issue and 2nd patch adds simple perf test for the same.

2.39.2
Although, IBS pmu can be invoked via it's own interface, indirect
IBS invocation via core pmu event is also supported with fixed set
of events: cpu-cycles:p, r076:p (same as cpu-cycles:p) and r0C1:p
(micro-ops) for user convenience.
This indirect IBS invocation is broken since commit 66d258c5b048
("perf/core: Optimize perf_init_event()"), which added RAW pmu
under pmu_idr list and thus if event_init() fails with RAW pmu,
it started returning error instead of trying other pmus.
Fix it by introducing new pmu capability PERF_PMU_CAP_FORWARD_EVENT.
Kernel will try to open event on other pmus if user requested pmu,
having this capability, fails to open event.
Without patch:
$ sudo ./perf record -C 0 -e r076:p -- sleep 1
Error:
The r076:p event is not supported.
With patch:
$ sudo ./perf record -C 0 -e r076:p -- sleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.341 MB perf.data (37 samples) ]
This new capability does not have a notion of forward pmu mapping.
i.e. it doesn't know which pmu(or set of pmus) the event should be
forwarded to. As of now, only AMD core pmu forwards a set of events
to IBS pmu when precise_ip attribute is set and thus trying with all
pmus works. But if more pmus start using this capability, some sort
of forward pmu mapping needs to be introduced through which the event
can directly get forwarded to only mapped pmus. Otherwise, trying all
pmus can inadvertently open event on wrong pmu.
Fixes: 66d258c5b048 ("perf/core: Optimize perf_init_event()")

Wouldn't it be better to use a different error code to indicate
it's about precise_ip (or forwarding in general)? Otherwise
other invalid config might cause the forwarding unnecessarily..

You need to close(fd) when it's succeeded for invalid one.
Thanks,

That would make things easier and we might not need this new capability.
Most appropriate error codes seems ENOENT, EOPNOTSUPP and EINVAL but all
are already used for other purposes. Any other suggestions?
Thanks,

Yup. Will fix it.

Maybe we can have more liberty for the error code since
it's not returned to the user. How about ESRCH, EIO or ENXIO?
Thanks,

Ok. We can probably use ESRCH, although it's meaning is little different:
$ errno -l | grep ESRCH
ESRCH 3 No such process
