Hi James,
   Do we have any dependency patches on top of this patch series. I am
reviewing and testing it, but in both powerpc and x86 system I am
getting build issue. Not sure if I am missing something.

I am trying your changes on top of upstream perf.

pmu-events/arch/test/test_soc/sys/uncore.json: json error Invalid
character inside JSON string
make[3]: *** [pmu-events/Build:18: pmu-events/pmu-events.c] Error 1
make[3]: *** Deleting file 'pmu-events/pmu-events.c'
make[2]: *** [Makefile.perf:667: pmu-events/pmu-events-in.o] Error 2
make[2]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
make[1]: *** [Makefile.perf:238: sub-make] Error 2
make: *** [Makefile:70: all] Error 2

Also, Is it possible to add line number along with file name while
showing this error `json error Invalid character inside JSON string`.
It might make it easy to fix.

Thanks,
Kajol Jain
