The failure should be a regression caused by the a24d9d9dc096 ("perf
parse-events: Make legacy events lower priority than sysfs/JSON")

@@ -1004,10 +1012,19 @@ static int config_term_pmu(struct
perf_event_attr *attr,
err_str, /*help=*/NULL);
return -EINVAL;
}
- attr->type = PERF_TYPE_HARDWARE;
- attr->config = term->val.num;
- if (perf_pmus__supports_extended_type())
- attr->config |= (__u64)pmu->type << PERF_PMU_TYPE_SHIFT;
+ /*
+ * If the PMU has a sysfs or json event prefer it over
+ * legacy. ARM requires this.
+ */
+ if (perf_pmu__have_event(pmu, term->config))
For Intel hybrid, the perf_pmu__have_event() should be always true for
all hw events and hw cache events. So the patch will mistakenly update
the type to TYPE_USER. However, On Intel platforms, the type of the hw
events should be TYPE_HARDWARE.

Seems ARM needs to find another way to distinguish the case.

Ian, any suggestions?

+ term->type_term = PARSE_EVENTS__TERM_TYPE_USER;
+ term->no_value = true;
+ } else {
+ attr->type = PERF_TYPE_HARDWARE;
+ attr->config = term->val.num;
+ if (perf_pmus__supports_extended_type())
+ attr->config |= (__u64)pmu->type << PERF_PMU_TYPE_SHIFT;
+ }
return 0;
}
if (term->type_term == PARSE_EVENTS__TERM_TYPE_USER ||
