The test goes through all metrics compiled for arch within pmu events
and try to parse them.
This test is different from 'test_parsing' in that we go through all the
events in the current arch, not just one defined for current CPU model.
Using 'fake_pmu' to parse events which do not have PMUs defined in the
system.
Say there's bad change in ivybridge metrics file, like:
- a/tools/perf/pmu-events/arch/x86/ivybridge/ivb-metrics.json
+ b/tools/perf/pmu-events/arch/x86/ivybridge/ivb-metrics.json
@@ -8,7 +8,7 @@
- "MetricExpr": "IDQ_UOPS_NOT_DELIVERED.CORE / (4 * ((
+ "MetricExpr": "IDQ_UOPS_NOT_DELIVERED.CORE / / (4 *
the test fails with (on my kabylake laptop):
$ perf test 'Parsing of PMU event table metrics with fake PMUs' -v
parsing 'idq_uops_not_delivered.core / / (4 * (( ( cpu_clk_unh...
syntax error, line 1
expr__parse failed

...
The test also defines its own list of metrics and tries to parse them.
It's handy for developing.
Committer notes:
Testing it:
$ perf test fake
10: PMU events :
10.4: Parsing of PMU event table metrics with fake PMUs : FAILED!
$ perf test -v fake |& tail
parsing '(unc_p_freq_trans_cycles / unc_p_clockticks) * 100.'
parsing '(unc_m_power_channel_ppd / unc_m_clockticks) * 100.'

parsing '(unc_m_power_self_refresh / unc_m_clockticks) * 100.'
parsing 'idq_uops_not_delivered.core / * (4 * cycles)'
syntax error

---- end ----
PMU events subtest 4: FAILED!

And fix this error:
tests/pmu-events.c:437:40: error: missing field 'idx' initializer [-Werror,-Wmissing-field-initializers]
struct parse_events_error error = { 0 };

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.
