[RFC PATCH v2 03/17] perf pmu-events: Add functions in jevent.py to parse counter and event info for hardware aware grouping

From: weilin . wang
Date: Fri Oct 13 2023 - 21:52:37 EST


From: Weilin Wang <weilin.wang@xxxxxxxxx>

These functions are added to parse event counter restrictions and counter
availability info from json files so that the metric grouping method could
do grouping based on the counter restriction of events and the counters
that are available on the system.

Signed-off-by: Weilin Wang <weilin.wang@xxxxxxxxx>
