    perf pmu: Auto-merge PMU events created by prefix or glob match · c199c11d
    Agustin Vega-Frias authored
    Auto-merge for these events was disabled when auto-merging of non-alias
    events was disabled in commit 63ce8449 (perf stat: Only auto-merge events
    that are PMU aliases).
    
    Non-merging of legacy events is preserved:
    
        $ perf stat -ag -e cache-misses,cache-misses sleep 1
    
         Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
    
                    86,323      cache-misses
                    86,323      cache-misses
    
               1.002623307 seconds time elapsed
    
    But prefix or glob matching auto-merges the events created:
    
        $ perf stat -a -e l3cache/read-miss/ sleep 1
    
         Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
    
                       328      l3cache/read-miss/
    
               1.002627008 seconds time elapsed
    
        $ perf stat -a -e l3cache_0_[01]/read-miss/ sleep 1
    
         Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
    
                       172      l3cache/read-miss/
    
               1.002627008 seconds time elapsed
    
    As with events created with aliases, auto-merging can be suppressed with
    the --no-merge option:
    
        $ perf stat -a -e l3cache/read-miss/ --no-merge sleep 1
    
         Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
    
                        67      l3cache/read-miss/
                        67      l3cache/read-miss/
                        63      l3cache/read-miss/
                        60      l3cache/read-miss/
