[ Upstream commit e7d1374ed5cb346efd9b3df03814dbc0767adb4e ]
The evsel->name may have a different format for a topdown event, a pure topdown name (e.g., topdown-fe-bound), or a PMU name + a topdown name (e.g., cpu/topdown-fe-bound/). The cpu/topdown-fe-bound/ kind format isn't supported by the arch_evlist__leader(). This format is a very common format for a hybrid platform, which requires specifying the PMU name for each event.
Without the patch,
$ perf stat -e '{instructions,slots,cpu/topdown-fe-bound/}' -a sleep 1
Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
<not counted> instructions <not counted> slots <not supported> cpu/topdown-fe-bound/
1.003482041 seconds time elapsed
Some events weren't counted. Try disabling the NMI watchdog: echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog perf stat ... echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog The events in group usually have to be from the same PMU. Try reorganizing the group.
With the patch,
$ perf stat -e '{instructions,slots,cpu/topdown-fe-bound/}' -a sleep 1
Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
157,383,996 slots 25,011,711 instructions 27,441,686 cpu/topdown-fe-bound/
