Running "perf list" on powerpc fails with segfault as below:
$ ./perf list
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
$
This happens because of duplicate events in the JSON list. The powerpc
JSON event list contains some event with same event name, but different
event code. They are:
- PM_INST_FROM_L3MISS (Present in datasource and frontend)
- PM_MRK_DATA_FROM_L2MISS (Present in datasource and marked)
- PM_MRK_INST_FROM_L3MISS (Present in datasource and marked)
- PM_MRK_DATA_FROM_L3MISS (Present in datasource and marked)
pmu_events_table__num_events() uses the value from table_pmu->num_entries
which includes duplicate events as well. This causes issue during "perf
list" and results in a segmentation fault.
Since both event codes are valid, append _DSRC to the Data Source events
(datasource.json), so that they would have a unique name.
Also add PM_DATA_FROM_L2MISS_DSRC and PM_DATA_FROM_L3MISS_DSRC events.
With the fix, 'perf list' works as expected.

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.
