Subject: [PATCH 03/30] perf record: Fix -c/-F options for cpu event aliases

From: Andi Kleen <ak@...ux.intel.com>

The Intel PMU event aliases have a implicit period= specifier to set the
default period.

Unfortunately this breaks overriding these periods with -c or -F,
because the alias terms look like they are user specified to the
internal parser, and user specified event qualifiers override the
command line options.

Track that they are coming from aliases by adding a "weak" state to the
term. Any weak terms don't override command line options.

I only did it for -c/-F for now, I think that's the only case that's
broken currently.

Before:

$ perf record -c 1000 -vv -e uops_issued.any
...
  { sample_period, sample_freq }   2000003

After:

$ perf record -c 1000 -vv -e uops_issued.any
...
  { sample_period, sample_freq }   1000
