perf_counter tools: Introduce alias member in event_symbol
By introducing alias member in event_symbol :
1. duplicate lines are removed, like:
cpu-cycles and cycles
branch-instructions and branches
context-switches and cs
cpu-migrations and migrations
2. We can also add alias for another events.
Now ./perf list looks like :
List of pre-defined events (to be used in -e):
cpu-cycles OR cycles [Hardware event]
instructions [Hardware event]
cache-references [Hardware event]
cache-misses [Hardware event]
branch-instructions OR branches [Hardware event]
branch-misses [Hardware event]
bus-cycles [Hardware event]
cpu-clock [Software event]
task-clock [Software event]
page-faults [Software event]
faults [Software event]
minor-faults [Software event]
major-faults [Software event]
context-switches OR cs [Software event]
cpu-migrations OR migrations [Software event]
rNNN [raw hardware event descriptor]
