Subject: [PATCH 10/55] perf stat: Forbid user passing improper config terms
'perf stat' accepts some config terms but doesn't apply them. For
example:
# perf stat -e 'instructions/no-inherit/' -e 'instructions/inherit/' bash
# ls
# exit
Performance counter stats for 'bash':
266258061 instructions/no-inherit/
266258061 instructions/inherit/
1.402183915 seconds time elapsed
The result is confusing, because user may expect the first
'instructions' event exclude the 'ls' command.
This patch forbid most of these config terms for 'perf stat'.
Result:
# ./perf stat -e 'instructions/no-inherit/' -e 'instructions/inherit/' bash
event syntax error: 'instructions/no-inherit/'
\___ 'no-inherit' is not usable in 'perf stat'
...
We can add blocked config terms back when 'perf stat' really supports them.
This patch also removes unavailable config term from error message:
# ./perf stat -e 'instructions/badterm/' ls
event syntax error: 'instructions/badterm/'
\___ unknown term
valid terms: config,config1,config2,name
# ./perf stat -e 'cpu/badterm/' ls
event syntax error: 'cpu/badterm/'
\___ unknown term
valid terms: pc,any,inv,edge,cmask,event,in_tx,ldlat,umask,in_tx_cp,offcore_rsp,config,config1,config2,name
