The jevent "Unit" field is used for uncore PMU alias definition.

The form uncore_pmu_example_X is supported, where "X" is a wildcard,
to support multiple instances of the same PMU in a system.

Unfortunately this format not suitable for all uncore PMUs; take the Hisi
DDRC uncore PMU for example, where the name is in the form
hisi_scclX_ddrcY.

For the current jevent parsing, we would be required to hardcode an uncore
alias translation for each possible value of X. This is not scalable.

Instead, add support for "Unit" field in the form "hisi_sccl,ddrc", where
we can match by hisi_scclX and ddrcY. Tokens in Unit field are
delimited by ','.

Hi Jirka,

if tok is NULL in here we crash


As I see, tok could not be NULL. If str contains no delimiters, then we just return same as str in tok.

Can you see tok being NULL?

+ res = false;
+ goto out;
+ }
+
+ for (; tok; name += strlen(tok), tok = strtok_r(NULL, ",", &tmp)) {

why is name shifted in here?

I want to ensure that we match the tokens in order and also guard against possible repeated token matches in 'name'.

Thanks,
John
