[PATCH v2 0/6] perf arm64 metricgroup support

[John Garry <john.garry@huawei.com>]

This series contains support to get basic metricgroups working for
arm64 CPUs.

Initial support is added for HiSilicon hip08 platform.

Some sample usage on Huawei D06 board:

 $ ./perf list metric    

List of pre-defined events (to be used in -e): 

Metrics:     

  bp_misp_flush
       [BP misp flush L3 topdown metric]
  branch_mispredicts
       [Branch mispredicts L2 topdown metric]
  core_bound
       [Core bound L2 topdown metric]
  divider
       [Divider L3 topdown metric]
  exe_ports_util
       [EXE ports util L3 topdown metric]
  fetch_bandwidth_bound
       [Fetch bandwidth bound L2 topdown metric]
  fetch_latency_bound
       [Fetch latency bound L2 topdown metric]
  fsu_stall
       [FSU stall L3 topdown metric]
  idle_by_icache_miss

$ sudo ./perf stat -v -M core_bound sleep 1

perf stat --topdown is not supported, as this requires the CPU PMU to
expose (alias) events for the TopDown L1 metrics from sysfs, which arm 
does not do. To get that to work, we probably need to make perf use the
pmu-events cpumap to learn about those alias events.

Metric reuse support is added for pmu-events parse metric testcase.
This had been broken on power9 recentlty:

Differences to v1:
- Add pmu_events_map__find() as arm64-specific function
- Fix metric reuse for pmu-events parse metric testcase 

John Garry (6):
  perf metricgroup: Make find_metric() public with name change
  perf test: Handle metric reuse in pmu-events parsing test
  perf pmu: Add pmu_events_map__find()
  perf vendor events arm64: Add Hisi hip08 L1 metrics
  perf vendor events arm64: Add Hisi hip08 L2 metrics
  perf vendor events arm64: Add Hisi hip08 L3 metrics
