Subject: [PATCH v1] perf pmu: Recognize default_core as a core PMU in more places
Date: Thu, 11 Jun 2026 18:24:13 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260612012413.3253516-1-irogers@google.com> (raw)
The python metrics code used in places like ilist.py passes a
pmu-filter of "default_core" on non-hybrid x86/ARM/.. systems. As a
PMU like "cpu" isn't a literal name match then no PMU matches
"default_core" and the events fail to parse for the metric. Fix the
name matching and PMU lookup for "default_core" and check that it
fixes ilist.py.
Fixes: 74e2dbe7be50 ("perf tools: Add --pmu-filter option for filtering PMUs")
Signed-off-by: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com>

Note: this bug is in 7.1 but it is a little too late to send for the
release. It should get picked up via the fixes tag.
