From: Kan Liang <kan.liang@linux.intel.com>

Perf fails to parse uncore event alias, for example:

  #perf stat -e unc_m_clockticks -a --no-merge sleep 1
  event syntax error: 'unc_m_clockticks'
                       \___ parser error

Current code assumes that the event alias is from one specific PMU.
To find the PMU, perf strcmp the pmu name of event alias with the
real pmu name on the system.
However, the uncore event alias may be from multiple PMUs with common
prefix. The pmu name of uncore event alias is the common prefix.
For example, UNC_M_CLOCKTICKS is clock event for iMC, which include
6 PMUs with the same prefix "uncore_imc" on a skylake server.
The real pmu names on the system for iMC are uncore_imc_0 ...
uncore_imc_5.
The strncmp is used to only check the common prefix for uncore
event alias.

With the patch,
  #perf stat -e unc_m_clockticks -a --no-merge sleep 1
  Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

       723,594,722      unc_m_clockticks [uncore_imc_5]
       724,001,954      unc_m_clockticks [uncore_imc_3]
       724,042,655      unc_m_clockticks [uncore_imc_1]
       724,161,001      unc_m_clockticks [uncore_imc_4]
       724,293,713      unc_m_clockticks [uncore_imc_2]
       724,340,901      unc_m_clockticks [uncore_imc_0]
