e94d6b7f61 perf pmu: Fix parser error for uncore event alias
Perf fails to parse uncore event alias, for example:

  # perf stat -e unc_m_clockticks -a --no-merge sleep 1
  event syntax error: 'unc_m_clockticks'
                       \___ parser error

Current code assumes that the event alias is from one specific PMU.

To find the PMU, perf strcmps the PMU name of event alias with the real
PMU name on the system.

However, the uncore event alias may be from multiple PMUs with common
prefix. The PMU name of uncore event alias is the common prefix.

For example, UNC_M_CLOCKTICKS is clock event for iMC, which include 6
PMUs with the same prefix "uncore_imc" on a skylake server.

The real PMU names on the system for iMC are uncore_imc_0 ...
uncore_imc_5.

The strncmp is used to only check the common prefix for uncore event
alias.

With the patch:

  # perf stat -e unc_m_clockticks -a --no-merge sleep 1
  Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

       723,594,722      unc_m_clockticks [uncore_imc_5]
       724,001,954      unc_m_clockticks [uncore_imc_3]

f4a0742b3c perf pmu: Move *_cpuid_str() weak functions to header.c
The weak functions, strcmp_cpuid_str() and get_cpuid_str(), are defined
in pmu.c.

Most of the cpuid related functions, including *_cpuid_str()'s
declaration and platform specific definition, are in header.c/h.

To make the declaration and definition of all cpuid related functions in
a consistent place, move the weak functions to header.c.

There is no functional change.

3b54411a44 perf vendor events: Add stepping in CPUID string for x86
The perf tools cannot find the proper event list for the Cascadelake
server.  Because the Cascadelake server and the Skylake server have the
same CPU model number, which are used by the perf tools to find the
event list.

The stepping for Skylake server is up to 4.

The stepping for Cascadelake server starts from 5.

The stepping can be used to distinguish between them.

The stepping is added in get_cpuid_str().

The stepping information for Skylake server is updated in mapfile.csv.

A x86 specific strcmp_cpuid_cmp() function is added to handle two CPUID
formats in mapfile.csv, "vendor-family-model-stepping" and
"vendor-family-model":

- If a cpuid-regular-expression from the mapfile.csv using the new
  stepping format, a cpuid-string generated on the machine must include
  stepping. Otherwise, it is a mismatch.

- If the cpuid-regular-expression using the old non-stepping format,
  the stepping in the cpuid-string will be ignored.

The script, using environment string "PERF_CPUID" without stepping on
Skylake server, will be broken. If so, users must fix their scripts.

Committer notes:

Fixed this build error on centos:6 and debian:7:

11a64a05dc perf pmu: Suppress potential format-truncation warning
Depending on which functions are inlined in util/pmu.c, the snprintf()
calls in perf_pmu__parse_{scale,unit,per_pkg,snapshot}() might trigger a
warning:

  util/pmu.c: In function 'pmu_aliases':
  util/pmu.c:178:31: error: '%s' directive output may be truncated writing up to 255 bytes into a region of size between 0 and 4095 [-Werror=format-truncation=]
    snprintf(path, PATH_MAX, "%s/%s.unit", dir, name);
                               ^~

I found this when trying to build perf from Linux 3.16 with gcc 8.
However I can reproduce the problem in mainline if I force
__perf_pmu__new_alias() to be inlined.

Suppress this by using scnprintf() as has been done elsewhere in perf.

ea1fa48c05 perf stat: Handle different PMU names with common prefix
On s390 the CPU Measurement Facility for counters now supports
2 PMUs named cpum_cf (CPU Measurement Facility for counters) and
cpum_cf_diag (CPU Measurement Facility for diagnostic counters)
for one and the same CPU.

Running command

 [root@s35lp76 perf]# ./perf stat -e tx_c_tend \
	 -- ~/mytests/cf-tx-events 1

 Measuring transactions
 TX_C_TABORT_NO_SPECIAL: 0 expected:0

      0.000121000 seconds user
      0.002127000 seconds sys

 [root@s35lp76 perf]#

displays output which is unexpected (and wrong):

  2      tx_c_tend

The test program definitely triggers only one transaction, as shown
in line 'TX_C_TEND: 1 expected:1'.

This is caused by the following call sequence:

pmu_lookup() scans and installs a PMU.
+--> pmu_aliases() parses all aliases in directory
		.../<pmu-name>/events/* which are file names.
     +--> pmu_aliases_parse() Read each file in directory and create
                      an new alias entry. This is done with
          +--> perf_pmu__new_alias() and
	       +--> __perf_pmu__new_alias() which also check for
	                   identical alias names.

After pmu_aliases() returns, a complete list of event names
for this pmu has been created. Now function

pmu_add_cpu_aliases()   is called to add the events listed in the json
|                       files to the alias list of the cpu.
+--> perf_pmu__find_map()  Returns a pointer to the json events.

Now function pmu_add_cpu_aliases() scans through all events listed
in the JSON files for this CPU.
Each json event pmu name is compared with the current PMU being
built up and if they mismatch, the json event is added to the
current PMUs alias list.
To avoid duplicate entries the following comparison is done:

	if (!is_arm_pmu_core(name)) {
	     pname = pe->pmu ? pe->pmu : "cpu";
	     if (strncmp(pname, name, strlen(pname)))
		     continue;
     }

The culprit is the strncmp() function.

Using current s390 PMU naming, the first PMU is 'cpum_cf'
and a long list of events is added, among them 'tx_c_tend'

When the second PMU named 'cpum_cf_diag' is added, only one event
named 'CF_DIAG' is added by the pmu_aliases()  function.

Now function pmu_add_cpu_aliases() is invoked for PMU 'cpum_cf_diag'.
Since the CPUID string is the same for both PMUs, json file events
for PMU named 'cpum_cf' are added to the PMU 'cpm_cf_diag'

This happens because the strncmp() actually compares:

     strncmp("cpum_cf", "cpum_cf_diag", 6);

The first parameter is the pmu name taken from the event in
the json file. The second parameter is the pmu name of the PMU
currently being built.
They are different, but the length of the compare only tests the
common prefix and this returns 0(true) when it should return false.

Now all events for PMU cpum_cf are added to the alias list for pmu
cpum_cf_diag.

Later on in function parse_events_add_pmu() the event 'tx_c_end' is
searched in all available PMUs and found twice, adding it two
times to the evsel_list global variable which is the root
of all events. This results in a counter value of 2 instead
of 1.

Output with this patch:

1b9caa10b3 Revert "perf tools: Fix PMU term format max value calculation"
This reverts commit ac0e2cd555.

Michael reported an issue with oversized terms values assignment
and I noticed there was actually a misunderstanding of the max
value check in the past.

The above commit's changelog says:

  If bit 21 is set, there is parsing issues as below.

    $ perf stat -a -e uncore_qpi_0/event=0x200002,umask=0x8/
    event syntax error: '..pi_0/event=0x200002,umask=0x8/'
                                      \___ value too big for format, maximum is 511

But there's no issue there, because the event value is distributed
along the value defined by the format. Even if the format defines
separated bit, the value is treated as a continual number, which
should follow the format definition.

In above case it's 9-bit value with last bit separated:
  $ cat uncore_qpi_0/format/event
  config:0-7,21

Hence the value 0x200002 is correctly reported as format violation,
because it exceeds 9 bits. It should have been 0x102 instead, which
sets the 9th bit - the bit 21 of the format.

  $ perf stat -vv -a -e uncore_qpi_0/event=0x102,umask=0x8/
  Using CPUID GenuineIntel-6-2D

6dde6429c5 perf stat: Remove duplicate event counting
'perf stat' shows a mismatch in perf stat regarding counter names on
s390:

Run command:

   [root@s35lp76 perf]# ./perf stat -e tx_nc_tend  -v --
                ~/mytesttx 1 >/tmp/111
   tx_nc_tend: 1 573146 573146

   [root@s35lp76 perf]#

shows transaction counter tx_nc_tend with value 3 but it was triggered
only once as seen by the output of mytesttx.

When looking up the event name tx_nc_tend the following function
sequence is called:

parse_events_multi_pmu_add()
+--> perf_pmu__scan() being called with NULL argument
     +--> pmu_read_sysfs() scans directory ../devices/ for
                           all PMUs
          +--> perf_pmu__find() tries to find a PMU in the
                           global pmu list.
               +--> pmu_lookup() called to read all file
                                 entries when not in global
                                 list.

pmu_lookup() causes the issue. It calls
+---> pmu_aliases() to read all the entries in the PMU directory.
                    On s390 this is named
                    /sys/devices/cpum_cf/events.
      +--> pmu_aliases_parse() reads all files and creates an
                       alias for each file name.

                       So we end up with first entry created by
                       reading the sysfs file
                       [root@s35lp76 perf]# cat /sys/devices/cpum_cf

                       Debug output shows this entry
                       tx_nc_tend -> 'cpum_cf'/'event=0x008d
                       '/
                       After all files in this directory have been
                       read and aliases created this function is called:
      +--> pmu_add_cpu_aliases()
                       This function looks up the CPU tables

                       With json files for s390 now available all
                       the aliases are added to
                       the PMU alias list a second time.
                       The second entry is added by
                       reading the json file converted by jevent
                       resulting in file pmu-events/pmu-events.c:

                       {
                         .name = "tx_nc_tend",

                        tx_nc_tend -> 'cpum_cf'/'event=0x8d'/

Function pmu_aliases_parse() and pmu_add_cpu_aliases() both use
__perf_pmu__new_alias() to add an alias to the PMU alias list. There is
no check if an alias already exist

So we end up with 2 entries for tx_nc_tend in the PMU alias list.

Having set up the PMU alias list for this PMU now
parse_events_multi_add_pmu() reads the complete alias list and adds each
alias with parse_events_add_pmu() to the global perfev_list.  This
causes the alias to be added multiple times to the event list.

Fix this by making __perf_pmu__new_alias() to merge alias definitions if
an alias is already on the alias list.  Also print a debug message when
the alias has mismatches in some fields.

0c24d6fb7b perf alias: Rebuild alias expression string to make it comparable
PMU alias definitions in sysfs files may have spaces, newlines and

JSON files without spaces, etc.

Scan alias definitions and remove leading zeroes, spaces, newlines, etc
and rebuild string to make alias->str member comparable.

s390 for example  has terms specified as event=0x0091 (read from files

292c34c102 perf pmu: Fix core PMU alias list for X86 platform
When counting uncore event with alias, core event is mistakenly
involved, for example:

  perf stat --no-merge -e "unc_m_cas_count.all" -C0  sleep 1

  Performance counter stats for 'CPU(s) 0':

                 0      unc_m_cas_count.all [uncore_imc_4]
                 0      unc_m_cas_count.all [uncore_imc_2]
                 0      unc_m_cas_count.all [uncore_imc_0]
           153,640      unc_m_cas_count.all [cpu]
                 0      unc_m_cas_count.all [uncore_imc_5]
            25,026      unc_m_cas_count.all [uncore_imc_3]
                 0      unc_m_cas_count.all [uncore_imc_1]

       1.001447890 seconds time elapsed

The reason is that current implementation doesn't check PMU name of a
event when adding its alias into the alias list for core PMU. The
uncore event aliases are mistakenly added.

This bug was introduced in:
  commit 14b22ae028 ("perf pmu: Add helper function is_pmu_core to
  detect PMU CORE devices")

Checking the PMU name for all PMUs on X86 and other architectures except
ARM.
There is no behavior change for ARM.

ce04abfbd3 perf list: Remove s390 specific strcmp_cpuid_cmp function
Make the type field in pmu-events/arch/s390/mapfile.cvs more generic to
match the created cpuid string for s390.

The pattern also checks for the counter first version number and counter
second version number ([13]\.[1-5]) and the authorization field which
follows.

These numbers do not exist in the cpuid identification string when perf
commands are executed on a z/VM environment (which does not support CPU
counter measurement facility).

CPUID string for LPAR:
   cpuid : IBM,3906,704,M03,3.5,002f
CPUID string for z/VM:
   cpuid : IBM,2964,702,N96

This allows the removal of s390 specific cpuid compare code and uses the
common compare function with its regular expression matching algorithm.

038586c343 perf list: Add s390 support for detailed/verbose PMU event description
'perf list' with flags -d and -v print a description (-d) or a very
verbose explanation (-v) of CPU specific counter events.  These
descriptions are provided with the json files in directory
pmu-events/arch/s390/*.json.

Display of these descriptions on s390 requires the corresponding json
files.

On s390 this does not work because function is_pmu_core() does not
detect the s390 directory name where the CPU specific events are listed.
On x86 it is:

  /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu

whereas on s390 it is:

  /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpum_cf
  /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpum_sf

Fix this by adding s390 directory name testing to function
is_pmu_core(). This is the same approach as taken for the ARM platform.

77f18153c0 perf tools: Fix snprint warnings for gcc 8
With gcc 8 we get new set of snprintf() warnings that breaks the
compilation, one example:

  tests/mem.c: In function ‘check’:
  tests/mem.c:19:48: error: ‘%s’ directive output may be truncated writing \
        up to 99 bytes into a region of size 89 [-Werror=format-truncation=]
    snprintf(failure, sizeof failure, "unexpected %s", out);

The gcc docs says:

 To avoid the warning either use a bigger buffer or handle the
 function's return value which indicates whether or not its output
 has been truncated.

Given that all these warnings are harmless, because the code either
properly fails due to uncomplete file path or we don't care for
truncated output at all, I'm changing all those snprintf() calls to
scnprintf(), which actually 'checks' for the snprint return value so the
gcc stays silent.

4cb7d3ecfc perf cpuid: Introduce a platform specific cpuid compare function
The function get_cpuid_str() is called by perf_pmu__getcpuid() and on
s390 returns a complete description of the CPU and its capabilities,
which is a comma separated list.

To map the CPU type with the value defined in the
pmu-events/arch/s390/mapfile.csv, introduce an architecture specific
cpuid compare function named strcmp_cpuid_str()

The currently used regex algorithm is defined as the weak default and
will be used if no platform specific one is defined. This matches the
current behavior.

fbc2844e84 perf vendor events: Use more flexible pattern matching for CPU identification for mapfile.csv
The powerpc cpuid information includes chip revision information.
Changes between chip revisions are usually minor bug fixes and usually
do not affect the operation of the performance monitoring hardware.

The original mapfile.csv matching requires enumerating every possible
cpuid string.  When a new minor chip revision is produced a new entry
has to be added to the mapfile.csv and the code recompiled to allow perf
to have the implementation specific perf events for this new minor
revision.  For users of various distibutions of Linux having to wait for
a new release of the kernel's perf tool to be built with these trivial
patches is inconvenient.

Using regular expressions rather than exactly string matching of the
entire cpuid string allows developers to write mapfile.csv files that do
not require patches and recompiles for each of these minor version
changes.  If special cases need to be made for some particular versions,
they can be placed earlier in the mapfile.csv file before the more
general matches.

c2f1cead19 perf record: Fix -c/-F options for cpu event aliases
The Intel PMU event aliases have a implicit period= specifier to set the
default period.

Unfortunately this breaks overriding these periods with -c or -F,
because the alias terms look like they are user specified to the
internal parser, and user specified event qualifiers override the
command line options.

Track that they are coming from aliases by adding a "weak" state to the
term. Any weak terms don't override command line options.

I only did it for -c/-F for now, I think that's the only case that's
broken currently.

Before:

$ perf record -c 1000 -vv -e uops_issued.any
...
  { sample_period, sample_freq }   2000003

After:

$ perf record -c 1000 -vv -e uops_issued.any

b24413180f License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
 - file had no licensing information it it.
 - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
 - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
 - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
 - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
   lines of source
 - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
   lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

 - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
   considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
   COPYING file license applied.

   For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0                                              11139

   and resulted in the first patch in this series.

   If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
   Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930

   and resulted in the second patch in this series.

 - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
   of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
   any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
   it (per prior point).  Results summary:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files

   and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

 - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
   the concluded license(s).

 - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
   license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
   licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

 - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
   resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
   which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

 - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
   confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

 - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
   the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
   in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
 - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
   license ids and scores
 - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
   files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
 - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
   was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
   SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

66ec11919a perf pmu: Unbreak perf record for arm/arm64 with events with explicit PMU
Currently, perf record is broken on arm/arm64 systems when the PMU is
specified explicitly as part of the event, e.g.

$ ./perf record -e armv8_cortex_a53/cpu_cycles/u true

In such cases, perf record fails to open events unless
perf_event_paranoid is set to -1, even if the PMU in question supports
mode exclusion. Further, even when perf_event_paranoid is toggled, no
samples are recorded.

This is an unintended side effect of commit:

  e3ba76deef ("perf tools: Force uncore events to system wide monitoring)

... which assumes that if a PMU has an associated cpu_map, it is an
uncore PMU, and forces events for such PMUs to be system-wide.

This is not true for arm/arm64 systems, which can have heterogeneous
CPUs. To account for this, multiple CPU PMUs are exposed, each with a
"cpus" field under sysfs, which the perf tool parses into a cpu_map. ARM
PMUs do not have a "cpumask" file, and only have a "cpus" file. For the
gory details as to why, see commit:

 7e3fcffe95 ("perf pmu: Support alternative sysfs cpumask")

Given all of this, we can instead identify uncore PMUs by explicitly
checking for a "cpumask" file, and restore arm/arm64 PMU support back to
a working state. This patch does so, adding a new perf_pmu::is_uncore
field, and splitting the existing cpumask parsing so that it can be
reused.

b18f3e3650 perf stat: Support JSON metrics in perf stat
Add generic support for standalone metrics specified in JSON files to
perf stat. A metric is a formula that uses multiple events to compute a
higher level result (e.g. IPC).

Previously metrics were always tied to an event and automatically
enabled with that event. But now change it that we can have standalone
metrics. They are in the same JSON data structure as events, but don't
have an event name.

We also allow to organize the metrics in metric groups, which allows a
short cut to select several related metrics at once.

Add a new -M / --metrics option to perf stat that adds the metrics or
metric groups specified.

Add the core code to manage and parse the metric groups. They are
collected from the JSON data structures into a separate rblist.  When
computing shadow values look for metrics in that list.  Then they are
computed using the existing saved values infrastructure in stat-shadow.c

The actual JSON metrics are in a separate pull request.

37932c188e perf stat: Output JSON MetricExpr metric
Add generic infrastructure to perf stat to output ratios for
"MetricExpr" entries in the event lists. Many events are more useful as
ratios than in raw form, typically some count in relation to total
ticks.

Transfer the MetricExpr information from the alias to the evsel.

We mark the events that need to be collected for MetricExpr, and also
link the events using them with a pointer. The code is careful to always
prefer the right event in the same group to minimize multiplexing
errors. At the moment only a single relation is supported.

Then add a rblist to the stat shadow code that remembers stats based on
the cpu and context.

Then finally update and retrieve and print these values similarly to the
existing hardcoded perf metrics. We use the simple expression parser
added earlier to evaluate the expression.

Normally we just output the result without further commentary, but for
--metric-only this would lead to empty columns. So for this case use the
original event as description.

There is no attempt to automatically add the MetricExpr event, if it is
missing, however we suggest it to the user, because the user tool
doesn't have enough information to reliably construct a group that is
guaranteed to schedule. So we leave that to the user.

Currently we allow not to specify value for numeric terms and we set

instead of:

However it works also for multi bits terms like:

  $ perf evlist -v
  ..., config: 0x1, ...

After discussion with Peter we decided making such term usage to fail,
like:

                       \___ no value assigned for term

15b22ed369 perf pmu: Support per pmu json aliases
Add support for registering json aliases per PMU. Any alias with an unit
matching the prefix is registered to the PMU.  Uncore has multiple
instances of most units, so all these aliases get registered for each
individual PMU (this is important later to run the event on every
instance of the PMU).

To avoid printing the events multiple times in perf list filter out
duplicated events during printing.

v2: Rely on uncore_ prefix already in unit
v3: Document why calls were reordered

fedb2b5182 perf jevents: Add support for parsing uncore json files
Handle the "Unit" field, which is needed to find the right PMU for an
event. We call it "pmu" and convert it to the perf pmu name with an
uncore prefix.

Handle the "ExtSel" field, which just extends the event mask with an
additional bit.

Handle the "Filter" field which adds parameters to the main event
to configure filtering.

Handle the "Unit" field which declares the unit the values should be
scaled too (similar to what the kernel exports)

Set up the "perpkg" field for uncore events so that perf knows they are
per package (similar to what the kernel exports)

Then output the fields into the pmu-events data structures which are
compiled into perf.

Filter out zero fields, except for the event itself.

v2: Fix compilation. Add uncore_ prefix at pre-processing time.
    Move eventcode change to separate patch.

v3: Remove extra __maybe_unused

v4: dont duplicate aliases for cpu pmu events
