Damn, I really should have spotted this. Thanks for reporting/fixing it.

If you're ok with the following patch, I'll take it into the ARM perf
tree.

Cheers,

Subject: [PATCH] ARM: perf: remove erroneous semicolon from event
 initialisation

Commit 9dcbf466559f ("ARM: perf: simplify __hw_perf_event_init err
handling") tidied up the error handling code for perf event
initialisation on ARM, but a copy-and-paste error left a dangling
semicolon at the end of an if statement.

This patch removes the broken semicolon, restoring the old group
validation semantics.

  ok, I will send patch v2.
  but use [PATCH] instead of [PATCH v2], since need change the subject.

  thanks.

oh, sorry, the comments still use charactor.

  I will send pach v2.
