Both these author addresses bounce for me :(

And it's not just my arm64 platform which is damaged, but also my x86 
broadwell machine - uncore aliasing for perf list is broken

Before snippet:
unc_cbo_cache_lookup.any_es
[Unit: uncore_cbox L3 Lookup any request that access cache and found 
line in E or S-state]
unc_cbo_cache_lookup.any_i
[Unit: uncore_cbox L3 Lookup any request that access cache and found 
line in I-state]

After snippet:
unc_cbo_cache_lookup.any_es
[Unit: uncore_cbox L3 Lookup any request that access cache and found 
line in E or S-state]
unc_cbo_cache_lookup.any_es
[Unit: uncore_cbox L3 Lookup any request that access cache and found 
line in E or S-state]
unc_cbo_cache_lookup.any_i
[Unit: uncore_cbox L3 Lookup any request that access cache and found 
line in I-state]
unc_cbo_cache_lookup.any_i
[Unit: uncore_cbox L3 Lookup any request that access cache and found 
line in I-state]

Notice how the events are repeated (twice, for each cbox PMU) after, 
when they should not be.

This seems to be the broken code added in print_pmu_events():

Anyone an idea on the !strcmp(aliases[j].pmu, aliases[j - 1].pmu) check 
or how to fix it?

Thanks,
