Thomas Richter 492d4d876c perf test: Set NULL sentinel in pmu_events table in "Parse and process metrics" test
Linux 5.9 introduced perf test case "Parse and process metrics" and
on s390 this test case always dumps core:

  [root@t35lp67 perf]# ./perf test -vvvv -F 67
  67: Parse and process metrics                             :
  --- start ---
  metric expr inst_retired.any / cpu_clk_unhalted.thread for IPC
  parsing metric: inst_retired.any / cpu_clk_unhalted.thread
  Segmentation fault (core dumped)
  [root@t35lp67 perf]#

I debugged this core dump and gdb shows this call chain:

This test case was added with
commit 218ca91df4 ("perf tests: Add parse metric test for frontend metric").

When I compile with make DEBUG=y it works fine and I do not get a core dump.

It turned out that the above listed function call chain worked on a struct
pmu_event array which requires a trailing element with zeroes which was
missing. The marco map_for_each_event() loops over that array tests for members
metric_expr/metric_name/metric_group being non-NULL. Adding this element fixes
the issue.

Output after:

  [root@t35lp46 perf]# ./perf test 67
  67: Parse and process metrics                             : Ok

Committer notes:

As Ian remarks, this is not s390 specific:

  This also shows up with address sanitizer on all architectures
  (perhaps change the patch title) and perhaps add a "Fixes: <commit>"
  tag.

I'm also adding the missing "Fixes" tag and setting just .name to NULL,
as doing it that way is more compact (the compiler will zero out
everything else) and the table iterators look for .name being NULL as
the sentinel marking the end of the table.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
