Ian Rogers 5ecd5a0c7d perf metrics: Modify setup and deduplication
Previously find_evsel_group was trying to share events while
mark-sweeping to eliminate unused events, this was complicated and had
issues around uncore events and grouped sharing.

This was further complicated by the event string being created while
metrics and metric groups were being added, with the string affecting
the evlist order.

This change moves deduplication before event parsing.  Ungrouped events
are placed in a single combined set. Groups are checked to see if an
earlier (larger) group can support their events.

As the deduplication and sharing detection is done on metric IDs before
parsing, wildcard expansion problems with uncore events are avoided.

Overall the code is simpler while working better.

An example of failing to deduplicate can be seen with a list of metrics
like the following, where in the after case multiplexing has been
avoided:

Before:

  $ perf stat -M Bad_Speculation,Backend_Bound,Frontend_Bound,Retiring -a sleep 2

   Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

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.
