At that point:
util/parse-events.c: In function ‘__parse_events’:
util/parse-events.c:2270:25: error: implicit declaration of function ‘evlist__uniquify_name’; did you mean ‘evlist__uniquify_evsel_names’? [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
2270 | evlist__uniquify_name(evlist);
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
| evlist__uniquify_evsel_names

⬢ [acme@...lbx perf-tools-next]$ git grep evlist__uniquify_name
tools/perf/util/parse-events.c: evlist__uniquify_name(evlist);
⬢ [acme@...lbx perf-tools-next]$
So its the later, the second patch builds because:
⬢ [acme@...lbx perf-tools-next]$ git rebase --continue
Stopped at ed3b26e31f42d1e4... perf parse-events: Use wildcard processing to set an event to merge into
You can amend the commit now, with
git commit --amend
Once you are satisfied with your changes, run
git rebase --continue
⬢ [acme@...lbx perf-tools-next]$ git grep evlist__uniquify_name
⬢ [acme@...lbx perf-tools-next]$ git show | grep evlist__uniquify_name
- evlist__uniquify_name(evlist);
⬢ [acme@...lbx perf-tools-next]$
That function isn't there anymore.
Please try to fix this and build it patch by patch so that we don't
introduce bisection breakage patches.
Thanks,
