perf tools: Use pmus to describe type from attribute
[ Upstream commit 7093882067e2e2f88d3449c35c5f0f3f566c8a26 ]
When dumping a perf_event_attr, use pmus to find the PMU and its name
by the type number. This allows dynamically added PMUs to be described.
Before:
$ perf stat -vv -e data_read true
...
perf_event_attr:
type 24
size 136
config 0x20ff
sample_type IDENTIFIER
read_format TOTAL_TIME_ENABLED|TOTAL_TIME_RUNNING
disabled 1
inherit 1
exclude_guest 1
...
After:
$ perf stat -vv -e data_read true
...
perf_event_attr:
type 24 (uncore_imc_free_running_0)
size 136
config 0x20ff
sample_type IDENTIFIER
read_format TOTAL_TIME_ENABLED|TOTAL_TIME_RUNNING
disabled 1
inherit 1
exclude_guest 1
...
However, it also means that when we have a PMU name we prefer it to a
hard coded name:
Before:
$ perf stat -vv -e faults true
...
perf_event_attr:
type 1 (PERF_TYPE_SOFTWARE)
size 136
config 0x2 (PERF_COUNT_SW_PAGE_FAULTS)
sample_type IDENTIFIER
read_format TOTAL_TIME_ENABLED|TOTAL_TIME_RUNNING
disabled 1
inherit 1
enable_on_exec 1
exclude_guest 1
...
After:
$ perf stat -vv -e faults true
...
perf_event_attr:
type 1 (software)
size 136
config 0x2 (PERF_COUNT_SW_PAGE_FAULTS)
sample_type IDENTIFIER
read_format TOTAL_TIME_ENABLED|TOTAL_TIME_RUNNING
disabled 1
inherit 1
enable_on_exec 1
exclude_guest 1
...
It feels more consistent to do this, rather than only prefer a PMU
name when a hard coded name isn't available.
