[PATCH] perf evlist: Fix 'perf record -C xx' failed issue

[PATCH] perf evlist: Fix 'perf record -C xx' failed issue

[Chunxin Zang]

The cpu has 8 performance-cores and 8 efficient-cores on my pc.
0-15 are performance-cores
16-23 are 8 efficient-cores

When I run "perf record -C xxx", the command fails if xxx all belong to
performance cores or efficient cores

The results are as follows

  # perf record -C 12
  WARNING: A requested CPU in '12' is not supported by PMU 'cpu_atom' (CPUs 16-23) for event 'cycles:P'
  Error:
  The sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 22 (Invalid argument) for event (cpu_atom/cycles:P/).
  /bin/dmesg | grep -i perf may provide additional information.

  # perf record -C 14-17
  WARNING: A requested CPU in '14-17' is not supported by PMU 'cpu_atom' (CPUs 16-23) for event 'cycles:P'
  WARNING: A requested CPU in '14-17' is not supported by PMU 'cpu_core' (CPUs 0-15) for event 'cycles:P'
  ^C[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]

The reason is that the cpu_map of 'cpu_atom'-evsel is empty, causing
the sys_perf_event_open() result to fail.
