Compiling perf with make LIBPFM4=1 includes libpfm support and
enables test case 63 'Test libpfm4 support'. This test reports an error
on all platforms for subtest 63.2 'test groups of --pfm-events'.
The reported error message is 'nested event groups not supported'
# ./perf test -F 63
63: Test libpfm4 support :
63.1: test of individual --pfm-events :
Error:
failed to parse event stereolab : event not found
Error:
failed to parse event stereolab,instructions : event not found
Error:
failed to parse event instructions,stereolab : event not found
Ok
63.2: test groups of --pfm-events :
Error:
nested event groups not supported <------ Error message here
Error:
failed to parse event {stereolab} : event not found
Error:
failed to parse event {instructions,cycles},{instructions,stereolab} :\
event not found
Ok
#
This patch addresses the error message 'nested event groups not supported'.
The root cause is function parse_libpfm_events_option() which parses the
event string '{},{instructions}' and can not handle a leading empty
group notation '{},...'.
The code detects the first (empty) group indicator '{' but does not
terminate group processing on the following group closing character '}'.
So when the second group indicator '{' is detected, the code assumes
a nested group and returns an error.
With the error message fixed, also change the expected event number to
one for the test case to succeed.
While at it also fix a memory leak. In good case the function does not
free the duplicated string given as first parameter.
Output after:
# ./perf test -F 63
63: Test libpfm4 support :
63.1: test of individual --pfm-events :
Error:
failed to parse event stereolab : event not found
Error:
failed to parse event stereolab,instructions : event not found
Error:
failed to parse event instructions,stereolab : event not found
Ok
63.2: test groups of --pfm-events :
Error:
failed to parse event {stereolab} : event not found
Error:
failed to parse event {instructions,cycles},{instructions,stereolab} : \
event not found
Ok
#
Error message 'nested event groups not supported' is gone.
