[PATCH v5 2/2] perf pmus: Skip duplicate PMUs and don't print list suffix by default

Ian Rogers
2023-08-25T13:53:50Z

Add a PMUs scan that ignores duplicates. When there are multiple PMUs
that differ only by suffix, by default just list the first one and
skip all others. The scan routine checks that the PMU names match but
doesn't enforce that the numbers are consecutive as for some PMUs
there are gaps. If "-v" is passed to "perf list" then list all PMUs.

With the previous change duplicate PMUs are no longer printed but the
suffix of the first is printed. When duplicate PMUs are being skipped
avoid printing the suffix.

Before:
```
$ perf list
...
uncore_imc_free_running_0/data_read/ [Kernel PMU event]
uncore_imc_free_running_0/data_total/ [Kernel PMU event]
uncore_imc_free_running_0/data_write/ [Kernel PMU event]
uncore_imc_free_running_1/data_read/ [Kernel PMU event]
uncore_imc_free_running_1/data_total/ [Kernel PMU event]
uncore_imc_free_running_1/data_write/ [Kernel PMU event]
```

After:
```
$ perf list
...
uncore_imc_free_running/data_read/ [Kernel PMU event]
uncore_imc_free_running/data_total/ [Kernel PMU event]
uncore_imc_free_running/data_write/ [Kernel PMU event]
...
$ perf list -v
uncore_imc_free_running_0/data_read/ [Kernel PMU event]
uncore_imc_free_running_0/data_total/ [Kernel PMU event]
uncore_imc_free_running_0/data_write/ [Kernel PMU event]
uncore_imc_free_running_1/data_read/ [Kernel PMU event]
uncore_imc_free_running_1/data_total/ [Kernel PMU event]
uncore_imc_free_running_1/data_write/ [Kernel PMU event]
...
```
