[PATCH] perf tools: Fix arm64 build error with gcc-11

From: Jianlin Lv
Date: Tue Feb 09 2021 - 06:42:27 EST


gcc version: 11.0.0 20210208 (experimental) (GCC)

Following build error on arm64:

.......
In function ‘printf’,
inlined from ‘regs_dump__printf’ at util/session.c:1141:3,
inlined from ‘regs__printf’ at util/session.c:1169:2:
/usr/include/aarch64-linux-gnu/bits/stdio2.h:107:10: \
error: ‘%-5s’ directive argument is null [-Werror=format-overflow=]

107 | return __printf_chk (__USE_FORTIFY_LEVEL - 1, __fmt, \
__va_arg_pack ());

......
In function ‘fprintf’,
inlined from ‘perf_sample__fprintf_regs.isra’ at \
builtin-script.c:622:14:
/usr/include/aarch64-linux-gnu/bits/stdio2.h:100:10: \
error: ‘%5s’ directive argument is null [-Werror=format-overflow=]
100 | return __fprintf_chk (__stream, __USE_FORTIFY_LEVEL - 1, __fmt,
101 | __va_arg_pack ());

cc1: all warnings being treated as errors
.......

This patch fixes Wformat-overflow warnings by replacing the return
value NULL of perf_reg_name with "unknown".
