[PATCH 5/5] perf metrics: Don't add all tool events for sharing

From: Ian Rogers
Date: Sat May 07 2022 - 01:34:49 EST


Tool events are added to the set of events for parsing so that having a
tool event in a metric doesn't inhibit event sharing of events between
metrics. All tool events were added but this meant unused tool events
would be counted. Reduce this set of tool events to just those present
in the overall metric list.
