Before calling perf_pmu__valid_suffix(), we either called the fnmatch() or called strstr(), so the 
tok must be the substring of pmu_name.

Sorry, why do you say they are still two functions? Is it because fnmatch + perf_pmu__valid_suffix? 
But as what I explained before, we can't use fnmatch to match the pattern such as "[tok]_[digit]", 
we have to use an function to check the last characters for '_' and digits.

Or I still misunderstand for the two functions here?

I see your patch is using:
(https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/1624990443-168533-7-git-send-email-kan.liang@linux.intel.com/)

if (!fnmatch(pattern, name, 0) ||
     (pmu->alias_name && !fnmatch(pattern, pmu->alias_name, 0))) {

}

So change the lines to:

if (!perf_pmu__match(pattern, name, NULL) ||
     (pmu->alias_name && !perf_pmu__match(pattern, pmu->alias_name, NULL))) {

}

int perf_pmu__match(char *pattern, char *name, char *tok)
{
         if (fnmatch(pattern, name, 0))
                 return -1;

         if (tok && !perf_pmu__valid_suffix(tok, name))
                 return -1;

         return 0;
}

Is that OK?
