[v2,06/16] perf parse-events: Legacy cache names on all PMUs and lower priority

Commit Message

Ian Rogers April 16, 2024, 6:15 a.m. UTC

Prior behavior is to not look for legacy cache names in sysfs/json and
to create events on all core PMUs. New behavior is to look for
sysfs/json events first on all PMUs, for core PMUs add a legacy event
if the sysfs/json event isn't present.

This is done so that there is consistency with how event names in
terms are handled and their prioritization of sysfs/json over
legacy. It may make sense to use a legacy cache event name as an event
name on a non-core PMU so we should allow it.
