Hi all,

After merging the perf tree, today's linux-next build (arm64 perf)
failed like this:

Exception processing /tmp/next/perf/pmu-events/arch/arm64/arm/cortex-a510/pmu.json
Traceback (most recent call last):

...

Caused by commit

a66f6242fbf52 (perf vendor events arm64: Remove uncountable events)

I have used the perf tree from 20260116 instead.

This issue is still present in today's -next.

Hi Arnaldo,

Did you see [1]? If it looks ok you should be able to apply it.
