Subject: [PATCH v4 1/4] perf metric: Event "Compat" value supports matching multiple identifiers

The jevent "Compat" is used for uncore PMU alias or metric definitions.

The same PMU driver has different PMU identifiers due to different hardware
versions and types, but they may have some common PMU event/metric. Since a
Compat value can only match one identifier, when adding the same event
alias and metric to PMUs with different identifiers, each identifier needs
to be defined once, which is not streamlined enough.

So let "Compat" value supports matching multiple identifiers. For example,
the Compat value {abcde;123*} can match the PMU identifier "abcde" and the
the PMU identifier with the prefix "123", where "*" is a wildcard.
Tokens in Unit field are delimited by ';' with no spaces.

Why only support for metrics? Why not support for regular events
aliases? I would have expected pmu_add_sys_aliases_iter_fn() to have
been updated for this.

On the basis that we will support regular events aliases, we need perf
tool self-test cases for this in tools/perf/test/pmu-events.c (I think
that pmu-events.c would be the most appropriate file)

Thanks,
John

Oh, you are right. I forgot to modify pmu_add_sys_aliases_iter_fn().

Ok, I will support it for regular events aliases and add self-test cases in the next version.
