From e5f9d8858612c192a4326f39ed16c91c3a9e0893 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kajol Jain Date: Mon, 28 Dec 2020 14:22:04 +0530 Subject: powerpc/perf/hv-24x7: Dont create sysfs event files for dummy events The hv_24x7 performance monitoring unit creates a list of supported events from the event catalog obtained via HCALL. The hv_24x7 catalog could also contain invalid or dummy events with names like RESERVED*. These events do not have any hardware counters backing them. Add a check to string compare the event names to filter such events out.
