Subject: [PATCH 00/18] perf metric: Add support to reuse metric
Date: Sun, 12 Jul 2020 15:26:16 +0200	[thread overview]

hi,
this patchset is adding the support to reused metric in another 
metric. The metric needs to be referenced by 'metric:' prefix.

For example, to define IPC by using CPI with change like:

         "BriefDescription": "Instructions Per Cycle (per Logical Processor)",
 -       "MetricExpr": "INST_RETIRED.ANY / CPU_CLK_UNHALTED.THREAD",
 +       "MetricExpr": "1/metric:CPI",
         "MetricGroup": "TopDownL1",
         "MetricName": "IPC"

I won't be able to find all the possible places we could
use this at, so I wonder you guys (who was asking for this)
would try it and come up with comments if there's something
missing or we could already use it at some places.

It's based on Arnaldo's tmp.perf/core.

v2 changes:
  - collected Ian's acks for few patches [Ian]
  - renamed expr__add_id to expr__add_id_val [Ian]
  - renamed expr_parse_data to expr_id_data [Ian]
  - added recursion check [Ian]
  - added metric test for DCache_L2 metric [Ian]
  - added some renames as discussed in review [Ian]

thanks,
