Legacy hybrid events have attr.type == PERF_TYPE_HARDWARE, so they look
like plain legacy events if we only look at attr.type. But legacy events
should still be uniquified if they were opened on a non-legacy PMU. Fix
it by checking if the evsel is hybrid and forcing needs_uniquify
before looking at the attr.type.
This restores PMU names on hybrid systems and also changes "perf stat
metrics (shadow stat) test" from a FAIL back to a SKIP (on hybrid). The
test was gated on "cycles" appearing alone which doesn't happen on
here.
Before:
$ perf stat -- true
...
<not counted> instructions:u (0.00%)
162,536 instructions:u # 0.58 insn per cycle
...
After:
$ perf stat -- true
...
<not counted> cpu_atom/instructions/u (0.00%)
162,541 cpu_core/instructions/u # 0.62 insn per cycle
...

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.
