[PATCH 0/2] perf stat: Unbreak perf stat with ARMv8 PMU events

From: Wei Li
Date: Mon Sep 21 2020 - 23:14:31 EST


Currently, perf-stat with armv8_pmu events with a workload is broken.
This patch set just fixes that.

Before the patch set:
[root@localhost hulk]# tools/perf/perf stat -e armv8_pmuv3_0/ll_cache_rd/,armv8_pmuv3_0/ll_cache_miss_rd/ ls > /dev/null
Segmentation fault

After the patch set:
[root@localhost hulk]# tools/perf/perf stat -e armv8_pmuv3_0/ll_cache_rd/,armv8_pmuv3_0/ll_cache_miss_rd/ ls > /dev/null

Performance counter stats for 'ls':

39,882 armv8_pmuv3_0/ll_cache_rd/
9,639 armv8_pmuv3_0/ll_cache_miss_rd/

0.001416690 seconds time elapsed

0.001469000 seconds user
0.000000000 seconds sys
