Subject: perf evsel: Fixes topdown events in a weak group for the hybrid
 platform
Git-commit: 39d5f412da84784bcc7f39ed49e55376be526fc7
Patch-mainline: v5.19-rc1
References: jsc#PED-1069
X-Info: dependent patch

The patch ("perf evlist: Keep topdown counters in weak group") fixes the
perf metrics topdown event issue when the topdown events are in a weak
group on a non-hybrid platform. However, it doesn't work for the hybrid
platform.

A hybrid platform has a different PMU name for the core PMUs, while
the current perf hard code the PMU name "cpu".

The evsel->pmu_name can be used to replace the "cpu" to fix the issue.
For a hybrid platform, the pmu_name must be non-NULL. Because there are
at least two core PMUs. The PMU has to be specified.
For a non-hybrid platform, the pmu_name may be NULL. Because there is
only one core PMU, "cpu". For a NULL pmu_name, we can safely assume that
it is a "cpu" PMU.

In case other PMUs also define the "slots" event, checking the PMU type
as well.

With the patch,

$ perf stat -e '{cpu_core/slots/,cpu_core/topdown-bad-spec/,
  cpu_core/topdown-be-bound/,cpu_core/topdown-fe-bound/,
