perf jevents: Handle events including .c and .o
This patch helps with Sukadev's vendor event tree where such events can happen. >From Andi Kleen: Any event including a .c/.o/.bpf currently triggers BPF compilation or loading and then an error. This can happen for some Intel vendor events, which cannot be used. This patch fixes this problem by forbidding BPF file patch containing '{', '}' and ',', make sure flex consumes the leading '{', instead of matching it using a BPF file path. Tested result: $ perf stat -e '{unc_p_clockticks,unc_p_power_state_occupancy.cores_c0}' -a -I 1000 invalid or unsupported event: '{unc_p_clockticks,unc_p_power_state_occupancy.cores_c0}' Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events (as expected, interperted as event) $ perf stat -e 'aaa.c' -a -I 1000 ERROR: problems with path aaa.c: No such file or directory (as expected, interpreted as BPF source) $ perf stat -e 'aaa.ccc' -a -I 1000 invalid or unsupported event: 'aaa.ccc' (as expected, interpreted as event) $ perf stat -e '{aaa.c}' -a -I 1000 ERROR: problems with path aaa.c: No such file or directory event syntax error: '{aaa.c}' <SKIP> (as expected, interpreted as BPF source) $ perf stat -e '{cycles,aaa.c}' -a -I 1000 ERROR: problems with path aaa.c: No such file or directory event syntax error: '{cycles,aaa.c}' (as expected, interpreted as BPF source) Signed-off-by: Wang Nan <wangnan0@huawei.com> Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Reported-by: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: Sukadev Bhattiprolu <sukadev@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Zefan Li <lizefan@huawei.com> Cc: pi3orama@163.com Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1475900185-37967-1-git-send-email-wangnan0@huawei.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
