Can you please refresh on top of what is in the tmp.perf-tools-next
branch at:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/perf/perf-tools-next.git

patch 3/8 has some fuzz and b4 is not finding it in the mailing list,
probably the patch is too large? Do you have some git tree somewhere I
can use to pull from?

Patch 3/8 is too large and it is being held until the list moderator can
review it for approval.

Perhaps you can pull it from my repository. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Hi Ian,

Yes, I explained the reason for using semicolons instead of commas in v7.

I use a semicolon instead of a comma because I want to distinguish it from the function
of the comma in "Unit" and avoid confusion between the use of commas in "Unit" and "Compat".
Because in Unit, commas act as wildcards, and in “Compat”, the semicolon means “or”. So
I think semicolons are more appropriate.

John also raised this issue earlier, and we finally agreed to use semicolons.
What do you think?


Thanks,
Jing

I'm okay with it, but thanks for capturing the why of this. I'd like
at some point to make the wildcarding of things less ad hoc. For
example, on x86 we use regular expressions to match cpuid:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/perf/perf-tools-next.git/tree/tools/perf/pmu-events/arch/x86/mapfile.csv?h=perf-tools-next
but file name style matching for pmus:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/perf/perf-tools-next.git/tree/tools/perf/util/pmu.c?h=perf-tools-next#n1974
Given that we're okay with regular expressions then I don't see why
everything shouldn't be a regular expression. This could, for example,
make matching PMUs more specific than just adding a star and doing a
file name match. For an example of why this is weird, on my laptop:
```
$ perf stat -e i/actual-frequency/ true

Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

                0      i/actual-frequency/

      0.001168195 seconds time elapsed
```
The PMU I used here as 'i' is /sys/devices/i915 as we allow arbitrary
numbers after a PMU name for cases of multiple uncore PMUs.

My feeling longer term is that the matching distinction of Unit and
Compat, comma and semi-colon, would be better captured with regular
expressions as I think they show the intent in the matching more
clearly.

Thanks,
Ian

Thank you for the example. I was not aware that regular expressions were

Yes, using regular expressions is indeed a better choice for consistency and clarity,
and I will try using regular expressions for Compat matching in the next version.
