perf parse-events: Add new "metric-id" term
Add a new "metric-id" term to events so that metric parsing can set an ID that can be reliably looked up. Metric parsing currently will turn a metric like "instructions/cycles" into a parse events string of "{instructions,cycles}:W". However, parse-events may change "instructions" into "instructions:u" if perf_event_paranoid=2. When this happens expr__resolve_id currently fails as stat-shadow adds the ID "instructions:u" to match with the counter value and the metric tries to look up the ID just "instructions". A later patch will use the new term. An example of the current problem: $ echo -1 > /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid $ perf stat -M IPC /bin/true Performance counter stats for '/bin/true': 1,217,161 inst_retired.any # 0.97 IPC 1,250,389 cpu_clk_unhalted.thread 0.002064773 seconds time elapsed 0.002378000 seconds user 0.000000000 seconds sys $ echo 2 > /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid $ perf stat -M IPC /bin/true Performance counter stats for '/bin/true': 150,298 inst_retired.any:u # nan IPC 187,095 cpu_clk_unhalted.thread:u 0.002042731 seconds time elapsed 0.000000000 seconds user 0.002377000 seconds sys Note: nan IPC is printed as an effect of "perf metric: Use NAN for missing event IDs." but earlier versions of perf just fail with a parse error and display no value.
