Auto-merge for these events was disabled when auto-merging of non-alias
events was disabled in commit 63ce844 (perf stat: Only auto-merge events
that are PMU aliases).
Non-merging of legacy events is preserved:
$ ./perf stat -ag -e cache-misses,cache-misses sleep 1
Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
86,323 cache-misses
86,323 cache-misses
1.002623307 seconds time elapsed
But prefix or glob matching auto-merges the events created:
$ ./perf stat -a -e l3cache/read-miss/ sleep 1
Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
328 l3cache/read-miss/
1.002627008 seconds time elapsed
$ ./perf stat -a -e l3cache_0_[01]/read-miss/ sleep 1
Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
172 l3cache/read-miss/
1.002627008 seconds time elapsed
As with events created with aliases, auto-merging can be suppressed with
the --no-merge option:
$ ./perf stat -a -e l3cache/read-miss/ --no-merge sleep 1
Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
67 l3cache/read-miss/
67 l3cache/read-miss/
63 l3cache/read-miss/
60 l3cache/read-miss/
1.002622192 seconds time elapsed

--no-merge::
Do not merge results from same PMUs.

-by default, aggregate the event counts and show the result in a single

Measure SMI cost if msr/aperf/ and msr/smi/ events are supported.
