[PATCH 02/13] perf, tools, stat: Collapse identically named events

[Andi Kleen <andi@firstfloor.org>]

From: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com>

The uncore PMU has a lot of duplicated PMUs for different subsystems.
When expanding an uncore alias we usually end up with a large
number of identically named aliases, which makes perf stat
output difficult to read.

Automatically sum them up in perf stat, unless --no-merge is specified.

This can be default because only the uncores generally have duplicated
aliases. Other PMUs have unique names.

Before:

% perf stat --no-merge -a  -e unc_c_llc_lookup.any sleep 1

 Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

           694,976 Bytes unc_c_llc_lookup.any
           706,304 Bytes unc_c_llc_lookup.any

           710,464 Bytes unc_c_llc_lookup.any
           538,304 Bytes unc_c_llc_lookup.any

       1.002577660 seconds time elapsed

After:

% perf stat  -a  -e unc_c_llc_lookup.any sleep 1

 Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

         2,685,120 Bytes unc_c_llc_lookup.any

       1.002648032 seconds time elapsed

v2: Split collect_aliases. Rename alias flag.
v3: Make sure unsupported/not counted is always printed.
v4: Factor out callback change into separate patch.
v5: Move check for bad results here
Move merged check into collect_data
