Ian Rogers 035c178930 perf parse-events: Add 'X' modifier to exclude an event from being regrouped
The function parse_events__sort_events_and_fix_groups is needed to fix
uncore events like:
```
$ perf stat -e '{data_read,data_write}' ...
```
so that the multiple uncore PMUs have a group each of data_read and
data_write events.

The same function will perform architecture sorting and group fixing,
in particular for Intel topdown/perf-metric events. Grouping multiple
perf metric events together causes perf_event_open to fail as the
group can only support one. This means command lines like:
```
$ perf stat -e 'slots,slots' ...
```
fail as the slots events are forced into a group together to try to
satisfy the perf-metric event constraints.

As the user may know better than
parse_events__sort_events_and_fix_groups add a 'X' modifier to skip
its regrouping behavior. This allows the following to succeed rather
than fail on the second slots event being opened:
```
$ perf stat -e 'slots,slots:X' -a sleep 1

 Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

     5,548,629,453      cpu_core/slots/X                                                        (49.87%)

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.
