[PATCH 26/31] perf tools: Support perf event alias name

From: Wang Nan
Date: Wed Oct 14 2015 - 08:50:10 EST


From: He Kuang <hekuang@xxxxxxxxxx>

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 ...

To allow parser refer to existing event selecter, pass event list to
'struct parse_events_evlist'. perf_evlist__find_evsel_by_alias() is
introduced to get evsel through its alias.
