Subject: [PATCH v2 1/5] perf stat: Better hybrid support for the NMI watchdog warning
Date: Wed, 2 Apr 2025 09:47:16 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250402164720.3847573-2-irogers@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250402164720.3847573-1-irogers@google.com>
Prior to this patch evlist__has_hybrid would return false if the
processor wasn't hybrid or the evlist didn't contain any core
events. If the only PMU used by events was cpu_core then it would
true even though there are no cpu_atom events. For example:
```
$ perf stat --cputype=cpu_core -e '{cycles,cycles,cycles,cycles,cycles,cycles,cycles,cycles,cycles}' true
Performance counter stats for 'true':
<not counted> cpu_core/cycles/ (0.00%)
<not counted> cpu_core/cycles/ (0.00%)
<not counted> cpu_core/cycles/ (0.00%)
<not counted> cpu_core/cycles/ (0.00%)
<not counted> cpu_core/cycles/ (0.00%)
<not counted> cpu_core/cycles/ (0.00%)
<not counted> cpu_core/cycles/ (0.00%)
<not counted> cpu_core/cycles/ (0.00%)
<not counted> cpu_core/cycles/ (0.00%)
0.001981900 seconds time elapsed
0.002311000 seconds user
0.000000000 seconds sys
```
This patch changes evlist__has_hybrid to return true only if the
evlist contains events from >1 core PMU. This means the NMI watchdog
warning is shown for the case above.
