The important patches are 3 and 5, the rest are tidyups and tests.
I don't think there is any interaction with the other open issues
about the uncore DSU cycles event or JSON/legacy hw event priorities
because only hw events on core PMUs are used for the default
stat command. And also just sharing the existing x86 code works so
no big changes are required.
For patch 3 the weak arch specific symbol has to continue to be used
rather than picking the implementation based on
perf_pmus__supports_extended_type() like in patch 5. This is because
that function ends up calling evsel__hw_name() itself which results
in recursion. But at least one weak arch_* construct has been removed,
so it's better than nothing.
James Clark (7):
perf stat: Initialize instead of overwriting clock event
perf stat: Remove unused default_null_attrs
perf evsel: Use the same arch_evsel__hw_name() on arm64 as x86
perf evsel: Remove duplicated __evsel__hw_name() code
perf evlist: Use hybrid default attrs whenever extended type is
supported
perf test: Make stat test work on DT devices
perf test: Add a test for default perf stat command
