Jin Yao reported issue with possible conflict between raw events and
term values in pmu event syntax.
Currently following syntax is resolved as raw event with 0xead value:
uncore_imc_free_running/read/
instead of using 'read' term from uncore_imc_free_running pmu, because
'read' is correct raw event syntax with 0xead value.
To solve this issue we do following:
- check existing terms during rXXXX syntax processing
and make them priority in case of conflict
- allow pmu/r0x1234/ syntax to be able to specify conflicting
raw event (implemented in previous patch)
Also add automated tests for this and perf_pmu__parse_cleanup call to
parse_events_terms, so the test gets properly cleaned up.
Fixes: 3a6c51e4d6 ("perf parser: Add support to specify rXXX event with pmu")

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
