Its unpublished, I'll send it to the tmp.perf/core branch now.

I use cross-compile for arm64 to build, and it's ok.

I notice that the failures are for architectures which don't have an entry under pmu-events/arch, so maybe we're missing some 'weak' definition of pmu_sys_event_tables.

I'll check now.


Hi Arnaldo,

Can you try this on top:

Subject: [PATCH] perf jevents: Add system events table for empty mapping

For architectures which have no PMU event lists - like arm32 - an empty
mapping table is printed. This is how the "pmu_events_map" symbol -
referenced in util/pmu.c::perf_pmu__find_map() - is created for those
architectures.

Since pmu-events.c now includes a new table - "pmu_sys_event_tables" -
which is also referenced from util/pmu.c, also add this for the empty
mappings.

Obviously I never tested building for one of test architectures which does not use PMU events - sorry!

I'll review this more tomorrow.

Thanks!
