perf list picks the events supported for specific platform
from pmu-events/arch/powerpc/<platform>. Example power10 events
are in pmu-events/arch/powerpc/power10, power9 events are part
of pmu-events/arch/powerpc/power9. The decision of which
platform to pick is determined based on PVR value in powerpc.
The PVR value is matched from pmu-events/arch/powerpc/mapfile.csv
Example:
Format:
PVR,Version,JSON/file/pathname,Type
0x004[bcd][[:xdigit:]]{4},1,power8,core
0x0066[[:xdigit:]]{4},1,power8,core
0x004e[[:xdigit:]]{4},1,power9,core
0x0080[[:xdigit:]]{4},1,power10,core
0x0082[[:xdigit:]]{4},1,power10,core
The code gets the PVR from system using get_cpuid_str function
in arch/powerpc/util/headers.c ( from SPRN_PVR ) and compares
with value from mapfile.csv
In case of compat mode, say when partition is booted in a power9
mode when the system is a power10, add an entry to pick the
ISA architected events from "pmu-events/arch/powerpc/compat".
Add json file generic-events.json which will contain these
events which is supported in compat mode.

HX-C2000 is a new CPU made by HEXIN Technologies Co., Ltd. And a new PVN
0x0066 has been applied from the OpenPower Community for this CPU.
Here is a patch to make perf tool run in the CPU.

Simple expression parser test fails in powerpc as below:
4: Simple expression parser
test child forked, pid 170385
Using CPUID 004e2102
division by zero
syntax error
syntax error
FAILED tests/expr.c:65 parse test failed
test child finished with -1
Simple expression parser: FAILED!
This is observed after commit:
'commit 9d5da30e4a ("perf jevents: Add a new expression builtin strcmp_cpuid_str()")'
With this commit, a new expression builtin strcmp_cpuid_str
got added. This function takes an 'ID' type value, which is
a string. So expression parse for strcmp_cpuid_str expects
const char * as cpuid value type. In case of powerpc, CPU IDs
are numbers. Hence it doesn't get interpreted correctly by
bison parser. Example in case of power9, cpuid string returns
as: 004e2102
cpuid of string type is expected in two cases:
1. char *get_cpuid_str(struct perf_pmu *pmu __maybe_unused);
Testcase "tests/expr.c" uses "perf_pmu__getcpuid" which calls
get_cpuid_str to get the cpuid string.
2. cpuid field in :struct pmu_events_map
struct pmu_events_map {
const char *arch;
const char *cpuid;
Here cpuid field is used in "perf_pmu__find_events_table"
function as "strcmp_cpuid_str(map->cpuid, cpuid)". The
value for cpuid field is picked from mapfile.csv.
Fix the mapfile.csv and get_cpuid_str function to prefix
cpuid with 0x so that it gets correctly interpreted by
the bison parser

The powerpc cpuid information includes chip revision information.
Changes between chip revisions are usually minor bug fixes and usually
do not affect the operation of the performance monitoring hardware.
The original mapfile.csv matching requires enumerating every possible
cpuid string. When a new minor chip revision is produced a new entry
has to be added to the mapfile.csv and the code recompiled to allow perf
to have the implementation specific perf events for this new minor
revision. For users of various distibutions of Linux having to wait for
a new release of the kernel's perf tool to be built with these trivial
patches is inconvenient.
Using regular expressions rather than exactly string matching of the
entire cpuid string allows developers to write mapfile.csv files that do
not require patches and recompiles for each of these minor version
changes. If special cases need to be made for some particular versions,
they can be placed earlier in the mapfile.csv file before the more
general matches.

Drop the .json suffix for events directory in the mapfile.csv.
Now that we have separate JSON files for each topic in a CPU (eg: see
tools/perf/pmu-events/arch/powerpc/power8/*.json) the .json suffix in
the mapfile is misleading and redundant.

Add mapfile.csv and power8.json files for the Power8 processor.
Changelog[v3]
- [Namhyung Kim] Remove text from PublicDescription fields if it is
identical to or prefix of BriefDescription.
Changelog[v2]
- [Andi Kleen] Replace the vendor-family-model,version fields with
cpuid,version fields (to simplify mapfile)
- Reuse the JSON files when possible (i.e multiple cpuids can refer
to the same JSON file) - so drop the 004d0100.json and use
power8.json in multiple entries in mapfile.
- Add few more Power8 PVRs to mapfile
Changelog[v21]
- Group events into per topic per cpu model.
