perf tools: Reconstruct event with modifiers from perf_event_attr
The modifiers:
k kernel space
u user space
h hypervisor
G guest
H host
p, pp, ppp precision level (PEBS)
that can be suffixed to an event were lost when tools used event_name()
to reconstruct them from the perf_event_attr entries in a perf.data
file.
Fix it by following the defaults used for these modifiers in the current
codebase, so:
$ perf record -e instructions:u usleep 1 2> /dev/null
$ perf evlist
instructions:u
$ perf record -e cycles:k usleep 1 2> /dev/null
$ perf evlist
cycles:k
$ perf record -e cycles:kh usleep 1 2> /dev/null
$ perf evlist
cycles:kh
$ perf record -e cache-misses:G usleep 1 2> /dev/null
$ perf evlist
cache-misses:G
$ perf record -e cycles:ppk usleep 1 2> /dev/null
$ perf evlist
cycles:kpp
$
Also works with 'top', 'report', etc.
More work needed to cover tracepoints and software events while not
dragging lots of baggage to the python binding, this is a minimal fix
for v3.5.
