Add support to print alias descriptions in perf list, which are taken
from the generated event files.
The sorting code is changed to put the events with descriptions at the
end. The descriptions are printed as possibly multiple word wrapped
lines.
Example output:
% perf list
...
arith.fpu_div
[Divide operations executed]
arith.fpu_div_active
[Cycles when divider is busy executing divide operations]
Committer notes:
Further testing on a Broadwell machine (ThinkPad t450s), using these
files:
$ find tools/perf/pmu-events/arch/x86/
tools/perf/pmu-events/arch/x86/
tools/perf/pmu-events/arch/x86/Broadwell
tools/perf/pmu-events/arch/x86/Broadwell/Cache.json
tools/perf/pmu-events/arch/x86/Broadwell/Other.json
tools/perf/pmu-events/arch/x86/Broadwell/Frontend.json
tools/perf/pmu-events/arch/x86/Broadwell/Virtual-Memory.json
tools/perf/pmu-events/arch/x86/Broadwell/Pipeline.json
tools/perf/pmu-events/arch/x86/Broadwell/Floating-point.json
tools/perf/pmu-events/arch/x86/Broadwell/Memory.json
tools/perf/pmu-events/arch/x86/mapfile.csv
$
Taken from:
https://github.com/sukadev/linux/tree/json-code+data-v21/tools/perf/pmu-events/arch/x86/
to get this machinery to actually parse JSON files, generate
$(OUTPUT)pmu-events/pmu-events.c, compile it and link it with perf, that
will then use the table it contains, these files will be submitted right
after this patchkit.
