Patch enhances current metric infrastructure to handle "?" in the metric
expression. The "?" can be use for parameters whose value not known while
creating metric events and which can be replace later at runtime to
the proper value. It also add flexibility to create multiple events out
of single metric event added in json file.

Patch adds function 'arch_get_runtimeparam' which is a arch specific
function, returns the count of metric events need to be created.
By default it return 1.

One loop is added in function 'metricgroup__add_metric', which create
multiple events at run time depend on return value of
'arch_get_runtimeparam' and merge that event in 'group_list'.

This infrastructure needed for hv_24x7 socket/chip level events.
"hv_24x7" chip level events needs specific chip-id to which the
data is requested. Function 'arch_get_runtimeparam' implemented
in header.c which extract number of sockets from sysfs file
"sockets" under "/sys/devices/hv_24x7/interface/".

Why this cast dance? We have sysfs__read_int(path, &count).

Also this is more compact:

	return sysfs__read_int(path, &count) < 0 ? 1 : count;

TIL that C99 allows for a NULL str to format and return the number of
bytes it would write if the string was large enough... wonders never
cease :-)

No need for the cast, malloc returns void *, or has that changed? 8-)
and please no space before the variable name.

Humm this is all complicated, why not use asprintf and have something
like:

			char *paramval;
			int size = asprintf(&paramval, "%d", expr__runtimeparam);

			if (size < 0)
				*dst++ = '0';
			else {
				while (i < size)
					*dst++ = paramval[i++];
				free(paramval);
			}

Shorter form that works even if you change that type:

+		eg = malloc(sizeof(*eg));

Please check strdup() return just like you checked the malloc(sizeof(struct egroup)).

Why break the above in two lines?

Right, I missed that part, will update it.

Yes, because we are appending '_' with parameter value in metric name
when we adding these events in 'group_list'. So, I added it, because
we can have multiple values of that runtime_parameter, so by appending it
in metric name, we can understand to which event the counter data belongs.
Thanks for reviewing the patch, I will send updated patch.

Thanks,

so the expr__runtimeparam is always set before we call the
expr parsing function - wither expr__find_other or expr__parse,

and it's used inside the normalize flexer function, which has
access to the passed context.. so I don't see a reason why
expr__runtimeparam couldn't be added in struct parse_ctx
and used from there..

while in this, perhaps we should rename parse_ctx to expr_ctx,
to keep the namespace straight (in separate patch)

thanks,
jirka

also, what's the point of using snprintf in here?

the inside loop is essentialy what you factor out to
metricgroup__add_metric_param right? please nove
addition of metricgroup__add_metric_param function
into separate patch

can't we agree that any reasonable number in here
wouldn't cross 20 bytes in string or so and use
buffer for that instead of that malloc exercise?
