Andi Kleen c2f1cead19 perf record: Fix -c/-F options for cpu event aliases
The Intel PMU event aliases have a implicit period= specifier to set the
default period.

Unfortunately this breaks overriding these periods with -c or -F,
because the alias terms look like they are user specified to the
internal parser, and user specified event qualifiers override the
command line options.

Track that they are coming from aliases by adding a "weak" state to the
term. Any weak terms don't override command line options.

I only did it for -c/-F for now, I think that's the only case that's
broken currently.

Before:

$ perf record -c 1000 -vv -e uops_issued.any
...
  { sample_period, sample_freq }   2000003

After:

$ perf record -c 1000 -vv -e uops_issued.any
...
  { sample_period, sample_freq }   1000

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
