When dumping a perf_event_attr, use pmus to find the PMU and its name
by the type number. This allows dynamically added PMUs to be described.
Before:
$ perf stat -vv -e data_read true
...
perf_event_attr:
type 24
size 136
config 0x20ff
sample_type IDENTIFIER
read_format TOTAL_TIME_ENABLED|TOTAL_TIME_RUNNING
disabled 1
inherit 1
exclude_guest 1
...
After:
$ perf stat -vv -e data_read true
...
perf_event_attr:
type 24 (uncore_imc_free_running_0)
size 136
config 0x20ff
sample_type IDENTIFIER
read_format TOTAL_TIME_ENABLED|TOTAL_TIME_RUNNING
disabled 1
inherit 1
exclude_guest 1
...
However, it also means that when we have a PMU name we prefer it to a
hard coded name:
Before:
$ perf stat -vv -e faults true
...
perf_event_attr:
type 1 (PERF_TYPE_SOFTWARE)
size 136
config 0x2 (PERF_COUNT_SW_PAGE_FAULTS)
sample_type IDENTIFIER
read_format TOTAL_TIME_ENABLED|TOTAL_TIME_RUNNING
disabled 1
inherit 1
enable_on_exec 1
exclude_guest 1
...
After:
$ perf stat -vv -e faults true
...
perf_event_attr:
type 1 (software)
size 136
config 0x2 (PERF_COUNT_SW_PAGE_FAULTS)
sample_type IDENTIFIER
read_format TOTAL_TIME_ENABLED|TOTAL_TIME_RUNNING
disabled 1
inherit 1
enable_on_exec 1
exclude_guest 1
...
It feels more consistent to do this, rather than only prefer a PMU
name when a hard coded name isn't available.

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 reStructuredText 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.
