From: He Kuang <heku...@huawei.com>
This patch adds new bison rules for specifying an alias name to a perf
event, which allows cmdline refer to previous defined perf event through
its name. With this patch user can give alias name to a perf event using
following cmdline:
# perf record -e mypmu=cycles ...
If alias is not provided (normal case):
# perf record -e cycles ...
It will be set to event's name automatically ('cycles' in the above
example).
To allow parser refer to existing event selector, pass event list to
'struct parse_events_evlist'. perf_evlist__find_evsel_by_alias() is
introduced to get evsel through its alias.
Test result:
Before this patch:
# ./perf record -e evt=cycles usleep 10
event syntax error: 'evt=cycles'
\___ parser error
Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events
[SNIP]
After this patch:
# ./perf record -e evt=cycles usleep 10
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.012 MB perf.data (2 samples) ]
