[PATCH] perf topdown: Don't require config1==0 for a slots event
Posted by Zide Chen 1 week ago
arch_is_topdown_slots() requires config1 == 0, so it misidentified
"cpu/slots,metrics_clear=1/" as not being the slots event, and an
additional slots event gets inserted, which fails event scheduling
since the group now needs two fixed counter 3.

  $ perf stat -e "{cpu/slots,metrics_clear=1/,cpu/topdown-retiring/}" -- sleep 1
  WARNING: events were regrouped to match PMUs
       <not counted>      slots
     <not supported>      cpu/slots,metrics_clear=1/
       <not counted>      cpu/topdown-retiring/

Drop the config1 == 0 check from arch_is_topdown_slots(). This is
safe: config1 has no bearing on the event's identifying config value
(TOPDOWN_SLOTS, 0x0400).

The attr.type == PERF_TYPE_RAW check is what actually matters: only the
core PMU is registered with PERF_TYPE_RAW, and on x86, 0x400 is
guaranteed to be slots event on core CPU.

arch_is_topdown_metrics() keeps its own config1 == 0 check, since
genuine metrics events have no "metrics_clear" and config1 remains 0.

Add a test verifying that an explicit "slots,metrics_clear=1" event in
a group does not trigger an extra slots event injection.

Fixes: 5b546de9cc17 ("perf topdown: Use attribute to see an event is a topdown metic or slots")
