Hi Ian,

thanks for the pointer.

Unfurtunately this patch set fails again on s390.
Here is the test output from the current 6.5.0rc7 kernel:

# ./perf test 6 10 'perf all metricgroups test' 'perf all metrics test'
  6: Parse event definition strings                                  :

This looks good.

However when I use the check-out from perf-tools-next, I get this output:
# ./perf test 6 10 'perf all metricgroups test' 'perf all metrics test'

So some tests are failing again.

I am out for the next two weeks, Sumanth Korikkar (on to list) might be able to help.
Thanks a lot.
