perf stat: Only auto-merge events that are PMU aliases
Peter reported that when he explicitely asked for multiple events with the same name on the command line it got coalesced into just one line, i.e.: # perf stat -e cycles -e cycles -e cycles usleep 1 Performance counter stats for 'usleep 1': 3,269,652 cycles 0.000884123 seconds time elapsed # And while there is the --no-merges option to disable that auto-merging, this is a blunt change in behaviour for such explicit request, so change the code so that this auto merging is done only when handling the multi PMU aliases with the same name that introduced this coalescing, restoring the previous behaviour for the explicit case: # perf stat -e cycles -e cycles -e cycles usleep 1 Performance counter stats for 'usleep 1': 1,472,837 cycles 1,472,837 cycles 1,472,837 cycles 0.001764870 seconds time elapsed # Reported-by: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Acked-by: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Acked-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com> Cc: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Wang Nan <wangnan0@huawei.com> Fixes: 430daf2dc7af ("perf stat: Collapse identically named events") Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170831184122.GK4831@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
