[PATCH V2 21/25] perf: Introduce PERF_TYPE_HARDWARE_PMU and PERF_TYPE_HW_CACHE_PMU

From: kan . liang
Date: Wed Mar 10 2021 - 11:45:14 EST


From: Kan Liang <kan.liang@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Current Hardware events and Hardware cache events have special perf
types, PERF_TYPE_HARDWARE and PERF_TYPE_HW_CACHE. The two types don't
pass the PMU type in the user interface. For a hybrid system, the perf
subsystem doesn't know which PMU the events belong to. The first capable
PMU will always be assigned to the events. The events never get a chance
to run on the other capable PMUs.

Add a PMU aware version PERF_TYPE_HARDWARE_PMU and
PERF_TYPE_HW_CACHE_PMU. The PMU type ID is stored at attr.config[40:32].
Support the new types for X86.
