Linux kernel source tree
The no_value field in 'struct parse_events_term' indicates that the val variable isn't used, the case for an event name. Cloning wasn't propagating this, making cloned event name terms appearing to have a constant assinged to them. Working around the bug would check for a value of 1 assigned to value, but then this meant a user value of 1 couldn't be differentiated causing the value to be lost in debug printing and perf list. The change fixes the cloning and updates the "val.num ==/!= 1" tests to use no_value instead. To better check the no_value is set appropriately parameter comments are added for constant values. This found that no_value wasn't set correctly in parse_events_multi_pmu_add, which matters now that no_value is used to indicate an event name. Fixes: |

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.
