Subject: [PATCH v2 1/8] perf jevents: fix breakage when do perf stat on system metric

From: Xu Yang <xu.yang_2@....com>

When do perf stat on sys metric, perf tool output nothing now:
$ perf stat -a -M imx95_ddr_read.all -I 1000
$

This command runs on an arm64 machine and the Soc has one DDR hw pmu
except one armv8_cortex_a55 pmu. Their maps show as follows:

const struct pmu_events_map pmu_events_map[] = {
{
	.arch = "arm64",
	.cpuid = "0x00000000410fd050",
	.event_table = {
		.pmus = pmu_events__arm_cortex_a55,
		.num_pmus = ARRAY_SIZE(pmu_events__arm_cortex_a55)
	},
	.metric_table = {
		.pmus = NULL,
		.num_pmus = 0
	}
},

static const struct pmu_sys_events pmu_sys_event_tables[] = {
{
	.event_table = {
		.pmus = pmu_events__freescale_imx95_sys,
		.num_pmus = ARRAY_SIZE(pmu_events__freescale_imx95_sys)
	},
	.metric_table = {
		.pmus = pmu_metrics__freescale_imx95_sys,
		.num_pmus = ARRAY_SIZE(pmu_metrics__freescale_imx95_sys)
	},
	.name = "pmu_events__freescale_imx95_sys",
},

Currently, pmu_metrics_table__find() will return NULL when only do perf
stat on sys metric. Then parse_groups() will never be called to parse
sys metric_name, finally perf tool will exit directly. This should be a
common problem. To fix the issue, this will keep the logic before commit
f20c15d13f01 ("perf pmu-events: Remember the perf_events_map for a PMU")
to return a empty metric table rather than a NULL pointer. This should
be fine since the removed part just check if the table match provided
metric_name. Without these code, the code in parse_groups() will also
check the validity of metrci_name too.

Fixes: f20c15d13f01 ("perf pmu-events: Remember the perf_events_map for a PMU")
