Subject: [PATCH v5 08/14] perf tools: Support perf event alias name

From: He Kuang <hekuang@...wei.com>

This patch is useful when trying to pass a perf event to BPF map.
Before this patch we are unable to pass an event with config term to
BPF maps. For example:

 # perf record -a -e cycles/no-inherit,period=0x7fffffffffffffff/ \
                  -e './test_bpf_map_2.c/maps:pmu_map.event=cycles/no-inherit,period=0x7fffffffffffffff//' ls /
 event syntax error: '..ps:pmu_map.event=cycles/'
                                   \___ Event not found for map setting

Because those '/' and ',' embarrass parser.

This patch adds new bison rules for specifying an alias name to a perf
event, which allows cmdline refer to previous defined perf event through
its name. With this patch user can give alias name to a perf event using
following cmdline. The above goal can be achieved using:

 # perf record -a -e cyc=cycles/no-inherit,period=0x7fffffffffffffff/ \
                  -e './test_bpf_map_2.c/maps:pmu_map.event=cyc/' ls /

If alias is not provided (normal case):

 # perf record -e cycles ...

It will be set to event's name automatically ('cycles' in the above
example).

To allow parser refer to existing event selector, pass event list to
'struct parse_events_evlist'. perf_evlist__find_evsel_by_alias() is
introduced to get evsel through its alias.

Test result:
 # cat ./test_bpf_map_2.c

 (This is expected because we set period of cycles to a very large

 as a counter only, don't need sampling)
