💅 fix_raw(9)

okay bestie, so this page is from the Kernel API Manual and it's literally all about fix_raw 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

fix_raw — for each raw term, see if there's an event (aka alias) in pmu that matches the raw's string value. 🦋

If the string value matches an event, then change the term to be an event. If it doesn't match, then change it to be a config term. For example, "read" may be an event of the PMU, or a raw hex encoding of 0xead. The fix-up is done late so the PMU of the event can be determined and we don't need to scan all PMUs ahead-of-time. no cap, that's the whole vibe 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void fix_raw (struct parse_events_terms *config_terms , struct perf_pmu
*pmu );

⭐ ARGUMENTS ⭐

• config_terms — the list of terms that may contain a raw term. 🫶
