Agustin Vega-Frias 8c5421c016 perf pmu: Display pmu name when printing unmerged events in stat
To simplify creation of events accross multiple instances of the same
type of PMU stat supports two methods for creating multiple events from
a single event specification:

1. A prefix or glob can be used in the PMU name.
2. Aliases, which are listed immediately after the Kernel PMU events
   by perf list, are used.

When the --no-merge option is passed and these events are displayed
individually the PMU name is lost and it's not possible to see which
count corresponds to which pmu:

    $ perf stat -a -e l3cache/read-miss/ --no-merge ls > /dev/null

     Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

                    67      l3cache/read-miss/
                    67      l3cache/read-miss/
                    63      l3cache/read-miss/
                    60      l3cache/read-miss/

           0.001675706 seconds time elapsed

    $ perf stat -a -e l3cache_read_miss --no-merge ls > /dev/null

     Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

                    12      l3cache_read_miss
                    17      l3cache_read_miss
                    10      l3cache_read_miss
                     8      l3cache_read_miss

           0.001661305 seconds time elapsed

This change adds the original pmu name to the event. For dynamic pmu
events the pmu name is restored in the event name:

    $ perf stat -a -e l3cache/read-miss/ --no-merge ls > /dev/null

     Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

                    63      l3cache_0_3/read-miss/
                    74      l3cache_0_1/read-miss/
                    64      l3cache_0_2/read-miss/
                    74      l3cache_0_0/read-miss/

           0.001675706 seconds time elapsed

For alias events the name is added after the event name:

    $ perf stat -a -e l3cache_read_miss --no-merge ls > /dev/null

     Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

                    10      l3cache_read_miss [l3cache_0_3]
                    12      l3cache_read_miss [l3cache_0_1]
                    10      l3cache_read_miss [l3cache_0_2]
                    17      l3cache_read_miss [l3cache_0_0]

           0.001661305 seconds time elapsed

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
