Subject: perf tool_pmu: More accurately set the cpus for tool events
X-Git-Tag: v6.19-rc1~61^2~98
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=d8d8a0b3603a9a8fa207cf9e4f292e81dc5d1008;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Flinux.git

perf tool_pmu: More accurately set the cpus for tool events

The user and system time events can record on different CPUs, but for
all other events a single CPU map of just CPU 0 makes sense. In
parse-events detect a tool PMU and then pass the perf_event_attr so
that the tool_pmu can return CPUs specific for the event. This avoids
a CPU map of all online CPUs being used for events like
duration_time. Avoiding this avoids the evlist CPUs containing CPUs
for which duration_time just gives 0. Minimizing the evlist CPUs can
remove unnecessary sched_setaffinity syscalls that delay metric
calculations.
