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 power10 PMU code, the alternative event array is not sorted properly and hence there is breakage in finding alternative event. To work with existing logic, fix the alternative event array to be sorted by column 0 for power10-pmu.c Results: In case where an alternative event is not chosen when we could, events will be multiplexed. ie, time sliced where it could actually run concurrently. Example, in power10 PM_INST_CMPL_ALT(0x00002) has alternative event, PM_INST_CMPL(0x500fa). Without the fix, if a group of events with PMC1 to PMC4 is used along with PM_INST_CMPL_ALT, it will be time sliced since all programmable PMC's are consumed already. But with the fix, when it picks alternative event on PMC5, all events will run concurrently.
