change.
- Change order to check alias and then identifier.
- Fix matching_pmu.
- Add event documentation links.

Jing Zhang (7):
perf pmu: "Compat" supports matching multiple identifiers
perf metric: "Compat" supports matching multiple identifiers
perf jevents: Support more event fields
perf test: Fix matching_pmu
perf test: Add pmu-event test for "Compat" and new event_field.
perf jevents: Add support for Arm CMN PMU aliasing
perf vendor events: Add JSON metrics for Arm CMN

Subject: [PATCH v6 3/7] perf jevents: Support more event fields

The usual event descriptions are "event=xxx" or "config=xxx", while the
event descriptions of CMN are "type=xxx, eventid=xxx" or more complex.

$cat /sys/bus/event_source/devices/arm_cmn_0/events/hnf_cache_fill
type=0x5,eventid=0x3

When adding aliases for events described as "event=xxx" or "config=xxx",
EventCode or ConfigCode can be used in the JSON files to describe the
events. But "eventid=xxx, type=xxx" cannot be supported at present.

If EventCode and ConfigCode is not added in the alias JSON file, the
event description will add "event=0" by default. So, even if the event
field is added to supplement "eventid=xxx" and "type=xxx", the final
parsing result will be "event=0, eventid=xxx, type=xxx".

Therefore, when EventCode and ConfigCode are missing in JSON, "event=0" is
no longer added by default. EventIdCode and Type are added to the event
field, and ConfigCode is moved into the event_field array which can also
guarantee its original function.

I'll let Ian check this change as he is more familiar with this code.

Hi Ian,

Could you please help to review this change?:)

Thank you for providing a more accurate and readable description.
I was indeed struggling with how to describe the problem more accurately before.

I agree, but it would require modifying the driver, which is not currently being
considered. In the meantime, I can describe the event_field as ('NodeType', 'type=').

Okay, I will test it right away.

You are correct, I compared the generated pmu-events.c files before and after,
and they are indeed different, with before:config=0x5 vs after:config=0x05. I will keep the
original way of handling ConfigCode in the next version.

If the event is None, the statement event += value + jd[key] would result in an error.
So, maybe I can use the following way:

if event:
event += ',' + value + jd[key]
else:
event = value + jd[key]
