Subject: [PATCH v2 3/8] drivers/perf: hisi_pcie: Fix incorrect counting under metric mode

From: Yicong Yang <yangyicong@...ilicon.com>

The metric counting shows incorrect results if the events in the
metric group using the same event but different filter options.
This is because we only judge the event code to decide whether
the event in the metric group should share the same hardware
counter, but ignore the settings of the filter.

For example, on a platform of 2 ports 0x1 and 0x2 but only port
0x1 has a downstream PCIe NVME device. The metric counting
shows both ports have the same counts because we misassign these
two events to one same hardware counter:
[root@...alhost perf-iostat]# ./perf stat -e '{hisi_pcie0_core1/event=0x0104,port=0x2/,hisi_pcie0_core1/event=0x0104,port=0x1/}'

 Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

        7907484924      hisi_pcie0_core1/event=0x0104,port=0x2/
        7907484924      hisi_pcie0_core1/event=0x0104,port=0x1/

      10.153863691 seconds time elapsed

Fix this by using the whole config rather than the event only
to judge whether two events are the same and should share the
same hardware counter. With this patch, the metric counting in
the above case tends to be corrected:

[root@...alhost perf-iostat]# ./perf stat -e '{hisi_pcie0_core1/event=0x0104,port=0x2/,hisi_pcie0_core1/event=0x0104,port=0x1/}'

 Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

                 0      hisi_pcie0_core1/event=0x0104,port=0x2/
        8123122077      hisi_pcie0_core1/event=0x0104,port=0x1/

      10.152875631 seconds time elapsed
