Example, one of the criteria is that events in a group cannot use the same PMC. But platform specific PMU supports alternative event for some of the event codes. During perf_event_open(), if any event group doesn't match constraint check criteria, further lookup is done to find alternative event. By current design, the array of alternatives events in PMU code is expected to be sorted by column 0. This is because in find_alternative() the return criteria is based on event code comparison. ie. "event < ev_alt[i][0])". This optimisation is there since find_alternative() can be called multiple times. In power9 PMU code, the alternative event array is not sorted properly and hence there is breakage in finding alternative events. To work with existing logic, fix the alternative event array to be sorted by column 0 for power9-pmu.c Results: With alternative events, multiplexing can be avoided. That is, for example, in power9 PM_LD_MISS_L1 (0x3e054) has alternative event, PM_LD_MISS_L1_ALT (0x400f0). This is an identical event which can be programmed in a different PMC.
