Subject: [PATCH v8 7/8] perf metric: Don't compute unused events.
For a metric like:
EVENT1 if #smt_on else EVENT2
currently EVENT1 and EVENT2 will be measured and then when the metric is
reported EVENT1 or EVENT2 will be printed depending on the value from
smt_on() during the expr parsing. Computing both events is unnecessary and
can lead to multiplexing as discussed in this thread:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20201110100346.2527031-1-irogers@google.com/
This change modifies the expression parsing code by:
- getting rid of the "other" parsing and introducing a boolean argument
to say whether ids should be computed or not.
- expressions are changed so that a pair of value and ids are returned.
- when computing the metric value the ids are unused.
- when computing the ids, constant values and smt_on are assigned to
the value.
- If the value is from an event ID then the event is added to the ids
hashmap and the value set to bottom (encoded as NAN).
- Typically operators union IDs for their inputs and set the value to
bottom, however, if the inputs are constant then these are computed and
propagated as the value.
- If the input is constant to certain operators like:
IDS1 if CONST else IDS2
then the result will be either IDS1 or IDS2 depending on CONST (which
may be evaluated from an entire expression), and so IDS1 or IDS2 may
be discarded avoiding events from being programmed.
- The ids at the end of parsing are added to the context.
