Numeric events are either raw events or those with ABI defined numbers
matched by the lexer. All raw events that don't specify a PMU type
should wildcard match on hybrid systems. So "cycles" should match each
PMU type with an extended type, not just PERF_TYPE_HARDWARE.
Change wildcard matching to add the event if wildcard PMU scanning
fails, there will be no extended type but this best matches previous
behavior.
Only set the extended type when the event type supports it and when
perf_pmus__supports_extended_type is true. This new function returns
true if >1 core PMU and avoids potential errors on older kernels.
Try to always pass a PMU for parse_events_add_numeric, update
evsel__compute_group_pmu_name as software events will have a PMU and
pmu_name rather than NULL. This makes homogeneous and heterogeneous
PMU events more similar.
Set a parse events error if a hardware term's PMU lookup fails to
provide extra diagnostics.

I think the patch tries to fix two issues on hybrid.
- Perf fails to create hardware events for each core PMU when the PMU
type is not specified.
- When splitting a group with multiple PMUs, SW events should be created
for each new sub-groups.
It works well for the first issue:
Before
# perf_old stat -e cycles ./hybrid.sh
Performance counter stats for './hybrid.sh':
420,833,619 cycles
1.219129587 seconds time elapsed
With the patch
# perf stat -e cycles ./hybrid.sh
Performance counter stats for './hybrid.sh':
420,691,729 cpu_core/cycles/
613,038,584 cpu_atom/cycles/
(98.47%)
1.219057759 seconds time elapsed
For the second issue, the new behavior doesn't seem correct for me.
Before
./perf_old stat -e '{data_read,faults}' --no-merge -a sleep 1
WARNING: events were regrouped to match PMUs
WARNING: grouped events cpus do not match.
Events with CPUs not matching the leader will be removed from the group.
anon group { data_read, faults }
Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
70.05 MiB data_read [uncore_imc_free_running_0]
55.82 MiB data_read [uncore_imc_free_running_1]
77 faults
1.004216885 seconds time elapsed
With the patch
# ./perf stat -e '{data_read,faults}' --no-merge -a sleep 1
WARNING: events were regrouped to match PMUs
WARNING: grouped events cpus do not match.
Events with CPUs not matching the leader will be removed from the group.
anon group { data_read, faults, faults }
Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
53.51 MiB data_read [uncore_imc_free_running_0]
39.04 MiB data_read [uncore_imc_free_running_1]
76 cpu_core/faults/
2 cpu_atom/faults/
The faults is a SW event, but with a core PMU prefix. I think it's wrong.
According to the -vvv information, the faults doesn't seem be regrouped
with any uncore events.
perf_event_attr:
type 1
size 136
config 0x2
sample_type IDENTIFIER
read_format TOTAL_TIME_ENABLED|TOTAL_TIME_RUNNING
disabled 1
inherit 1
exclude_guest 1
------------------------------------------------------------
sys_perf_event_open: pid -1 cpu 0 group_fd -1 flags 0 = 5
------------------------------------------------------------
For the second issue, can we make the behavior unchanged for now?
BTW: It seems the current perf-tools-next branch has another regression
for the JSON event. The inst_retired.any should be available for both
atom and core. I believe I tried the below commands several days ago.
But it does't work now. I will check when the regression was introduced.
# ./perf stat -e inst_retired.any ./hybrid.sh
Performance counter stats for './hybrid.sh':
3,261,510,386 cpu_core/inst_retired.any/
(99.07%)
1.218858763 seconds time elapsed

Sorry for that. The 2nd item isn't intended. The behavior of software
events has changed as the code is now assigning all events it can a
PMU, so software events get the software PMU and a pmu_name of
"software".

This is wrong, the patch needs to exclude software events from
wildcard PMU lookup. It probably makes sense to exclude anything that
isn't PERF_TYPE_HARDWARE or PERF_TYPE_HW_CACHE.
For PERF_TYPE_RAW, on heterogeneous Intel this matches 'cpu_core' but
at least for ARM the expectation appears to be that this is all core
PMUs. Given the confusion, and not extended type, it probably just
makes sense not to wildcard it.

Thanks, this was supposed to be unchanged for this patch. The matching
logic is here:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux.git/tree/tools/perf/util/parse-events.y?h=perf-tools-next#n284
I have access to an Alderlake again now, so I'll test the patch and do
the type changes mentioned above for v2.

This was caused by commit 6b9da2607030 ("perf pmu: Remove
is_pmu_hybrid") specifically:
```
bool perf_pmu__auto_merge_stats(const struct perf_pmu *pmu)
{
- return !is_pmu_hybrid(pmu->name);
+ return pmu->is_core && perf_pmus__num_core_pmus() > 1;
```
where the sense of the test was flipped causing the counter values to
be merged. I'll send the fix.
