Re: [BUG] jevents problem when cross building Re: [PATCH 2/3] perf tools: Allow to enable/disable events via control file

From: John Garry
Date: Thu Dec 10 2020 - 12:46:23 EST



+ evsel_name = cmd_data + sizeof(EVLIST_CTL_CMD_ENABLE_EVSEL_TAG) - 1;

It makes sense to check that evsel_name still points
into cmd_data buffer after assigning to event name.
right, will add that
So, I'm finishing test builds, so probably I'll push the first two
patches publicly and then you can send a patch on top of this, ok?
Unless the tests break somewhere and then I'll have to restart, so I'll
fold in whatever gets at that time...
That was quick:

Hi Arnaldo,

I'm not sure what is going on here.

So symbol 'pmu_sys_event_tables' is introduced in https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/1607080216-36968-3-git-send-email-john.garry@xxxxxxxxxx/, but I did not think that you picked any of this series up yet, right?

I checked your perf/core branch, and no sign, so which git/branch is this?

Thanks,
John

So far all the cross builds failed.
