Add a metrics table that is just a cast from pmu_events_table. This
changes the APIs so that event and metric usage of the underlying
table is different. Later changes will separate the tables.

This introduction fixes a NO_JEVENTS=1 regression on:
68: Parse and process metrics : Ok
70: Event expansion for cgroups : Ok
caused by the necessary test metrics not being found.


I have just checked some of this code so far...

I think that this code will be conflicting with the recent arm64 metric support. And now it seems even more scope for factoring out code.

nit on coding style: do we normally declare local variables like this? It condenses the code but makes a bit less readable, IMHO

To me, this is all strange code. Again this is a comment on the current code: Consider pmu_for_each_sys_event() as an example, we have a while loop for each member of pmu_sys_event_tables[]. But pmu_sys_event_tables is hardcoded for a single member, so why loop? It seems the same for all these "for each" helper in the "empty" events c file.

As I may have hinted before, can we avoid casts like this, even if transient?
