Ian Rogers 4ac22b484d perf parse-events: Make add PMU verbose output clearer
On a CPU like skylakex an uncore_iio_0 PMU may alias with
uncore_iio_free_running_0. The latter PMU doesn't support fc_mask as a
parameter and so pmu_config_term fails. Typically parse_events_add_pmu
is called in a loop where if one alias succeeds errors are ignored,
however, if multiple errors occur parse_events__handle_error will
currently give a WARN_ONCE.

This change removes the WARN_ONCE in parse_events__handle_error and
makes it a pr_debug. It adds verbose messages to parse_events_add_pmu
warning that non-fatal errors may occur, while giving details on the pmu
and config terms for useful context. pmu_config_term is altered so the
failing term and pmu are present in the case of the 'unknown term' error
which makes spotting the free_running case more straightforward.

Before:

  $ perf --debug verbose=3 stat -M llc_misses.pcie_read sleep 1
  Using CPUID GenuineIntel-6-55-4
  metric expr unc_iio_data_req_of_cpu.mem_read.part0 + unc_iio_data_req_of_cpu.mem_read.part1 + unc_iio_data_req_of_cpu.mem_read.part2 + unc_iio_data_req_of_cpu.mem_read.part3 for LLC_MISSES.PCIE_READ

After:

  $ perf --debug verbose=3 stat -M llc_misses.pcie_read sleep 1
  Using CPUID GenuineIntel-6-55-4
  metric expr unc_iio_data_req_of_cpu.mem_read.part0 + unc_iio_data_req_of_cpu.mem_read.part1 + unc_iio_data_req_of_cpu.mem_read.part2 + unc_iio_data_req_of_cpu.mem_read.part3 for LLC_MISSES.PCIE_READ

  adding {unc_iio_data_req_of_cpu.mem_read.part0,unc_iio_data_req_of_cpu.mem_read.part1,unc_iio_data_req_of_cpu.mem_read.part2,unc_iio_data_req_of_cpu.mem_read.part3}:W,{unc_iio_data_req_of_cpu.mem_read.part0,unc_iio_data_req_of_cpu.mem_read.part1,unc_iio_data_req_of_cpu.mem_read.part2,unc_iio_data_req_of_cpu.mem_read.part3}:W
  intel_pt default config: tsc,mtc,mtc_period=3,psb_period=3,pt,branch
  Attempting to add event pmu 'uncore_iio_free_running_5' with 'unc_iio_data_req_of_cpu.mem_read.part0,' that may result in non-fatal errors
  After aliases, add event pmu 'uncore_iio_free_running_5' with 'fc_mask,ch_mask,umask,event,' that may result in non-fatal errors
  Attempting to add event pmu 'uncore_iio_free_running_3' with 'unc_iio_data_req_of_cpu.mem_read.part0,' that may result in non-fatal errors
  After aliases, add event pmu 'uncore_iio_free_running_3' with 'fc_mask,ch_mask,umask,event,' that may result in non-fatal errors
  Attempting to add event pmu 'uncore_iio_free_running_1' with 'unc_iio_data_req_of_cpu.mem_read.part0,' that may result in non-fatal errors
  After aliases, add event pmu 'uncore_iio_free_running_1' with 'fc_mask,ch_mask,umask,event,' that may result in non-fatal errors
  Multiple errors dropping message: unknown term 'fc_mask' for pmu 'uncore_iio_free_running_3' (valid terms: event,umask,config,config1,config2,name,period,percore)
  ...

  So before you see a 'WARNING: multiple event parsing errors' and
  'Invalid event/parameter'. After you see 'Attempting... that may result
  in non-fatal errors' then 'Multiple errors...' with details that
  'fc_mask' wasn't known to a free running counter. While not completely
  clean, this makes it clearer that an error hasn't really occurred.
