Adding a new hardcoded term 'name' allowing to specify a name for the
pmu event. The term is defined along with standard pmu terms. If no
'name' term is given, the event name follows following template:
"raw 0x<perf_event_attr::config>"
running:
perf stat -e cpu/config=1,name=krava1/u ls
will produce following output:
...
Performance counter stats for 'ls':
0 krava1
...
running:
perf stat -e cpu/config=1/u ls
will produce following output:
...
Performance counter stats for 'ls':
0 raw 0x1
...

Adding pmu object which provides interface to pmu's sysfs
event format definition located at:
${sysfs_mount}/bus/event_source/devices/${pmu}/format
Following interface is exported:
struct perf_pmu* perf_pmu__find(char *name);
- this function returns pmu object, which is then
passed as a handle to other interface functions
int perf_pmu__config(struct perf_pmu *pmu, struct perf_event_attr *attr,
struct list_head *head_terms);
- this function configures perf_event_attr struct based
on pmu's format definitions and config terms data,
containined in head_terms list.
Parser generator is used to retrive the pmu's format definition.
The generated parser is part of the patch. Added makefile rule
'pmu-parser' to generate the parser code out of the bison/flex
sources.
Added builtin test 'Test perf pmu format parsing', which could
be run like:
perf test pmu
