Jin Yao 8adc0a06d6 perf script: Fix overrun issue for dynamically-allocated PMU type number
When unpacking the event which is from dynamic PMU, the array
output[OUTPUT_TYPE_MAX] may be overrun. For example, type number of SKL
uncore_imc is 10, but OUTPUT_TYPE_MAX is 7 now (OUTPUT_TYPE_MAX =
PERF_TYPE_MAX + 1).

/* In builtin-script.c */

process_event()
{
        unsigned int type = output_type(attr->type);

        if (output[type].fields == 0)
                return;
}

output[10] is overrun.

Create a type OUTPUT_TYPE_OTHER for dynamic PMU events, then
output_type(attr->type) will return OUTPUT_TYPE_OTHER here.

Note that if PERF_TYPE_MAX ever changed, then there would be a conflict
between old perf.data files that had a dynamicaliy allocated PMU number
that would then be the same as a fixed PERF_TYPE.

Example:

  # perf record --switch-events -C 0 -e "{cpu-clock,uncore_imc/data_reads/,uncore_imc/data_writes/}:SD" -a -- sleep 1
  # perf script

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.
