perf stat: Move metric list from config to evlist

2025-07-11T19:36:40Z

The rblist of metric_event that then have a list of associated metric_expr is moved out of the stat_config and into the evlist. This is done as part of refactoring things for python, having the state split in two places complicates that implementation. The evlist is doing the harder work of enabling and disabling events, the metrics are needed to compute a value and it doesn't seem unreasonable to hang them from the evlist.

perf parse-events: Print all errors

2024-02-02T21:08:05Z

Prior to this patch the first and the last error encountered during parsing are printed. To see other errors verbose needs enabling. Unfortunately this can drop useful errors, in particular on terms. This patch changes the errors so that instead of the first and last all errors are recorded and printed, the underlying data structure is changed to a list. Before: ``` $ perf stat -e 'slots/edge=2/' true event syntax error: 'slots/edge=2/' \___ Bad event or PMU Unable to find PMU or event on a PMU of 'slots' Initial error: event syntax error: 'slots/edge=2/' \___ Cannot find PMU `slots'. Missing kernel support? Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events Usage: perf stat [] [] -e, --event event selector. use 'perf list' to list available events ``` After: ``` $ perf stat -e 'slots/edge=2/' true event syntax error: 'slots/edge=2/' \___ Bad event or PMU Unable to find PMU or event on a PMU of 'slots' event syntax error: 'slots/edge=2/' \___ value too big for format (edge), maximum is 1 event syntax error: 'slots/edge=2/' \___ Cannot find PMU `slots'.

perf evsel: Introduce evsel__name_is() method to check if the evsel name is equal to a given string

2023-04-24T17:28:11Z

This makes the logic a bit clear by avoiding the !strcmp() pattern and also a way to intercept the pointer if we need to do extra validation on it or to do lazy setting of evsel->name via evsel__name(evsel).

perf metric: Add --metric-no-threshold option

2023-02-19T11:07:15Z

Thresholds may need additional events, this can impact things like sharing groups of events to avoid multiplexing. Add a flag to make the threshold calculations optional. The threshold will still be computed if no additional events are necessary.

perf pmu-events: Introduce pmu_metrics_table

2023-02-03T16:54:21Z

Add a metrics table that is just a cast from pmu_events_table. This changes the APIs so that event and metric usage of the underlying table is different. For the no jevents case the tables are already separate, later changes will separate the tables for the jevents case.

perf pmu-events: Separate the metrics from events for no jevents

2023-02-03T16:53:52Z

Separate the event and metric table when building without jevents. Add find_core_metrics_table and perf_pmu__find_metrics_table while renaming existing utilities to be event specific, so that users can find the right table for their need.

Preparation for hiding pmu_events_map as an implementation detail. While the map is passed, the table of events is all that is normally wanted. While modifying the function's types, rename pmu_events_map__find to pmu_events_table__find to match later encapsulation. Similarly rename pmu_add_cpu_aliases_map to pmu_add_cpu_aliases_table.
