Perf fails to parse uncore event alias, for example:
# perf stat -e unc_m_clockticks -a --no-merge sleep 1
event syntax error: 'unc_m_clockticks'
\___ parser error
Current code assumes that the event alias is from one specific PMU.
To find the PMU, perf strcmps the PMU name of event alias with the real
PMU name on the system.
However, the uncore event alias may be from multiple PMUs with common
prefix. The PMU name of uncore event alias is the common prefix.
For example, UNC_M_CLOCKTICKS is clock event for iMC, which include 6
PMUs with the same prefix "uncore_imc" on a skylake server.
The real PMU names on the system for iMC are uncore_imc_0 ...
uncore_imc_5.
The strncmp is used to only check the common prefix for uncore event
alias.
With the patch:
# perf stat -e unc_m_clockticks -a --no-merge sleep 1
Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
723,594,722 unc_m_clockticks [uncore_imc_5]
724,001,954 unc_m_clockticks [uncore_imc_3]
724,042,655 unc_m_clockticks [uncore_imc_1]
724,161,001 unc_m_clockticks [uncore_imc_4]
724,293,713 unc_m_clockticks [uncore_imc_2]
724,340,901 unc_m_clockticks [uncore_imc_0]

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
