[PATCH v3 0/5] Make evlist CPUs more accurate

[Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com>]

evlist has all_cpus, computed to be the merge of all evsel CPU maps,
and cpus. cpus may contain more CPUs than all_cpus, as by default cpus
holds all online CPUs whilst all_cpus holds the merge/union from
evsels. For an uncore event there may just be 1 CPU per socket, which
will be a far smaller CPU map than all online CPUs.

The v1 patches changed cpus to be called user_requested_cpus, to
reflect their potential user specified nature. The user_requested_cpus
are set to be the current value intersected with all_cpus, so that
user_requested_cpus is always a subset of all_cpus. This fixes
printing code for metrics so that unnecessary blank lines aren't
printed.

To make the intersect function perform well, a perf_cpu_map__is_subset
function is added. While adding this function, the v2 patches also
used it in perf_cpu_map__merge to avoid creating a new CPU map for
some currently missed patterns. The reference counts for these
functions is simplified as discussed here:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/YkdOpJDnknrOPq2t@kernel.org/ but this
means users of perf_cpu_map__merge must now do a put on the 1st
argument.

v2. Reorders the "Avoid segv" patch and makes other adjustments
    suggested by Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@kernel.org>.
v3. Modify reference count behaviour for merge and intersect. Add
    intersect tests and tidy thee cpu map tests suite.

Ian Rogers (5):
  perf cpumap: Don't decrement refcnt on args to merge
  perf tests: Additional cpumap merge tests
  perf cpumap: Add intersect function.
  perf evlist: Respect all_cpus when setting user_requested_cpus
  perf test: Combine cpu map tests into 1 suite
