hi,
I had discussion with Ingo about the state of this patchset
and there's one more requirement from his side - to split
event files into per topic files

Thanks Jiri.

I made some initial changes over latest Sukadev's branch
and came up with something like this:

Did you just split it by the "Topic" fields?

yep

so let's have a discussion if this is acceptable for you guys

Splitting is fine for me, as long as it's scriptable.

I already have some scripts to generate the perf json files,
can update them to split.

yep, there's split-json.py script earlier in the perf/json branch

I've already made some changes in pmu-events/* to support
this hierarchy to see how bad the change would be.. and
it's not that bad ;-)

Everything has to be automated, please no manual changes.

sure

so, if you're ok with the layout, how do you want to proceed further?

thanks,
jirka
