[PATCH v1 0/3] perf jevents: Deterministic build fix and mypy cleanliness

[Ian Rogers]

Nazar Kazakov reported non-deterministic builds due to the metrics
being reordered in the jevents.py output. Fix by sorting metrics on
more than just their name.

Checking the code with mypy showed a large range of type warnings. Fix
by largely adding asserts that values aren't None and by adding type
annotations.

  perf jevents: Add python type annotations
  perf jevents metric: Add python type annotations

[PATCH v1 1/3] perf jevents: Add more components to the metric sorting order

[Ian Rogers]

Nazar Kazakov reported non-deterministic builds due to the metrics
being reordered in the jevents.py output. The metrics were largely
only being sorted by name, add in the expressions and descriptions.

Reported-by: Nazar Kazakov <nazar.kazakov@codethink.co.uk>
Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-perf-users/20260706175624.692736-1-nazar.kazakov@codethink.co.uk/
Fixes: 40769665b63d ("perf jevents: Parse metrics during conversion")

Ping. There's Sashiko feedback on patch 1:
https://sashiko.dev/#/patchset/20260707034019.241762-1-irogers%40google.com
but it basically says that having a metric name with no metric
expression will cause a crash, which is expected behavior.

Nazar, it would be great if you could provide a Tested-by tag :-)

Thanks,
Ian

This fixes the non-reproducibility indeed, thank you!
I haven't tested mypy patches as I've just cherry-picked this one.

I got this from one of my test setup.

    GEN     /build/pmu-events/test-empty-pmu-events.c

Python version was 3.6.15.

I'll process patch 1 for now.

I believe the minimum Python version should be 3.9.x:
https://docs.kernel.org/process/changes.html
That version will resolve this issue.

Hmm.. ok.  I'll re-add them then.
