Many PMUs do not support common hardware/cache/etc. events and only
handle their own PMU-specific events. Since this only depends on
matching the event and PMU types, it's a prime candidate for a core
capability to save more event_init boilerplate in drivers.

         /*
          * PERF_TYPE_HARDWARE and PERF_TYPE_HW_CACHE
          * are often aliases for PERF_TYPE_RAW.
          */
         type = event->attr.type;
         if (type == PERF_TYPE_HARDWARE || type == PERF_TYPE_HW_CACHE) {
                 type = event->attr.config >> PERF_PMU_TYPE_SHIFT;
                 if (!type) {
                         type = PERF_TYPE_RAW;
                 } else {
                         extended_type = true;
                         event->attr.config &= PERF_HW_EVENT_MASK;
                 }
         }

again:
         rcu_read_lock();
         pmu = idr_find(&pmu_idr, type);
         rcu_read_unlock();
         if (pmu) {
Above code tells me it's possible that 'pmu->type != event->attr.type' 
is true when event->attr.type equals to PERF_TYPE_HARDWARE or 
PERF_TYPE_HW_CACHE, and pmu->type should equal to event->attr.config >> 
PERF_PMU_TYPE_SHIFT.

We find the target pmu by event->attr.config >> PERF_PMU_TYPE_SHIFT.

Code added discard this option.

And code tells me that no try. Target PMU is doubtless.

And if that PMU doesn't actually support PERF_TYPE_HARDWARE or 
PERF_TYPE_HW_CACHE then it would reject the event, if the very next 
lines didn't already do that:

	if (event->attr.type != type && type != PERF_TYPE_RAW &&
	    !(pmu->capabilities & PERF_PMU_CAP_EXTENDED_HW_TYPE))
		goto fail;

Either way it should be clear that there's no change of functionality 
here since the flow into perf_try_init_event() itself is untouched.

> Code added discard this option.

It would already be nonsensical for a driver to advertise 
PERF_PMU_CAP_EXTENDED_HW_TYPE to say it supports extended hardware 
events, but then reject all hardware events with a "event->attr.type != 
pmu->type" check in its event_init. Reworking the latter condition into 
PERF_PMU_CAP_NO_COMMON_EVENTS doesn't change that.

Thanks,
Robin.
