SubjectRe: [PATCH] perf, tools, pmu-events: Fix fixed counters on Intel

I removed this line from the commit log...

|
| This lead to some common events like inst_retired.any
| or cpu_clk_unhalted.thread not counting, when specified with their
| JSON name.
|
| Special case these events in the jevents conversion process.

...and replaced this line with:

{NULL, NULL},

to fix the compile error:

pmu-events/jevents.c:247:2: error: missing initializer for field ‘name’ of ‘struct fixed’ [-Werror=missing-field-initializers]
{},

After this I was able to get non-zero counts for the 'inst_retired.any'
event on my system. Without the patch, I get 0 count for the event.

I pushed this commit to the 'json-v16' branch.

I also noticed an "Unknown MSR" message when building 'jevents':

CC /root/suka/linux-acme.git/tools/perf/perf-obj/pmu-events/jevents.o
LD /root/suka/linux-acme.git/tools/perf/perf-obj/pmu-events/jevents-in.o
LINK /root/suka/linux-acme.git/tools/perf/perf-obj/pmu-events/jevents
GEN /root/suka/linux-acme.git/tools/perf/perf-obj/pmu-events/pmu-events.c
jevents: Unknown MSR in event file 0x3F7

The message is unrelated to the current patch and seems to show up when
processing:

tools/perf/pmu-events/arch/x86/Skylake_core.json

(Note that you have to merge the 'json-files-7' branch with 'json-v16' to get
the JSON files and hence the error).

Thanks,

Sukadev
