Subject: [PATCH v2] perf pmu: Use available core PMU for raw events
Date: Wed,  7 May 2025 14:59:39 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250507215939.54399-1-namhyung@kernel.org> (raw)

When it finds a matching pmu for a legacy event, it should look for
core pmus.  The raw events also refers to core events so it should be
handled similarly.

On x86, PERF_TYPE_RAW should match with the existing cpu PMU.  But on
ARM, there's no PMU with the matching type so it'll pick the first core
PMU for it.
