[ Upstream commit b92dd11725a7c57f55e148c7d3ce58a86f480575 ]
Testcase stat_all_metrics.sh fails in powerpc:
90: perf all metrics test : FAILED!
The testcase "stat_all_metrics.sh" verifies perf stat result for all the
metric events present in perf list. It runs perf metric events with
various commands and expects non-empty metric result.
Incase of powerpc:hv-24x7 events, some of the event count can be 0 based
on system configuration. And if that event used as denominator in divide
equation, it can cause divide by 0 error. The current nest_metric.json
file creating divide by 0 issue for some of the metric events, which
results in failure of the "stat_all_metrics.sh" test case.
Most of the metrics events have cycles or an event which expect to have
a larger value as denominator, so adding 1 to the denominator of the
metric expression as a fix.
Result in powerpc box after this patch changes:
90: perf all metrics test : Ok
Fixes: a3cbcadfdfc330c2 ("perf vendor events power10: Adds 24x7 nest metric events for power10 platform")

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.
