perf tools: Support the auxiliary event
On the Intel Sapphire Rapids server, an auxiliary event has to be enabled simultaneously with the load latency event to retrieve complete Memory Info. Add X86 specific perf_mem_events__name() to handle the auxiliary event. - Users are only interested in the samples of the mem-loads event. Sample read the auxiliary event. - The auxiliary event must be in front of the load latency event in a group. Assume the second event to sample if the auxiliary event is the leader. - Add a weak is_mem_loads_aux_event() to check the auxiliary event for X86. For other ARCHs, it always return false. Parse the unique event name, mem-loads-aux, for the auxiliary event. Committer notes: According to 61b985e3e775a3a7 ("perf/x86/intel: Add perf core PMU support for Sapphire Rapids"), ENODATA is only returned by sys_perf_event_open() when used with these auxiliary events, with this in evsel__open_strerror(): case ENODATA: return scnprintf(msg, size, "Cannot collect data source with the load latency event alone. " "Please add an auxiliary event in front of the load latency event."); This is Ok at this point in time, but fragile long term, I pointed this out in the e-mail thread, requesting a follow up patch to check if ENODATA is really for this specific case. Fixed up sizeof(MEM_LOADS_AUX_NAME) bug pointed out by Namhyung.
