[PATCH v6 0/4] Add support for cpu event term

[PATCH v6 0/4] Add support for cpu event term

[Ian Rogers]

Being able to set the cpu mask per event was discussed in the context
of a sysfs event.cpus file is discussed here:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/CAP-5=fXXuWchzUK0n5KTH8kamr=DQoEni+bUoo8f-4j8Y+eMBg@mail.gmail.com/
Ultimately Kan preferred to have multiple PMUs with a cpumask each
rather than an event.cpus file per event. It is still useful to have
the cpu event term and so the sysfs part of the original patch series
is dropped.

v6: Purely a rebase.
v5: Purely a rebase.
v4: Add the stat-display output change for zero counters Namhyung
    requested as part of the series:
    https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/Zvx9VbJWtmkcuSBs@google.com/
    This skips zero values for CPUs not in the evsel's cpumask rather
    than the evsel's PMU's cpumask.
v3: Drop sysfs event.cpus file support patch from series.  Reference
    to using cpu to modify uncore events is dropped from the commit
    message. Reference counting issues on the cpumap are addressed.
v2: Add support for multiple cpu terms on an event that are
    merged. For example, an event of "l1d-misses/cpu=4,cpu=5/" will
    now be opened on both CPU 4 and 5 rather than just CPU 4.

[PATCH v6 2/4] perf stat: Use counter cpumask to skip zero values

[Ian Rogers]

When a counter is 0 it may or may not be skipped. For uncore counters
it is common they are only valid on 1 logical CPU and all other CPUs
should be skipped. The PMU's cpumask was used for the skip
calculation, but that cpumask may not reflect user
overrides. Similarly a counter on a core PMU may explicitly not
request a CPU be gathered. If the counter on this CPU's value is 0
then the counter should be skipped as it wasn't requested. Switch from
using the PMU cpumask to that associated with the evsel to support
these cases.

Avoid potential crash with --per-thread mode where config->aggr_get_id
is NULL. Add some examples for the tool event 0 counter skipping.

[PATCH v6 3/4] perf parse-events: Set is_pmu_core for legacy hardware events

[Ian Rogers]

Also set the CPU map to all online CPU maps. This is done so the
behavior of legacy hardware and hardware cache events better matches
that of sysfs and json events during
__perf_evlist__propagate_maps. Fix missing cpumap put in "Synthesize
attr update" test.

[PATCH v6 4/4] perf parse-events: Add "cpu" term to set the CPU an event is recorded on

[Ian Rogers]

The -C option allows the CPUs for a list of events to be specified but
its not possible to set the CPU for a single event. Add a term to
allow this. The term isn't a general CPU list due to ',' already being
a special character in event parsing instead multiple cpu= terms may
be provided and they will be merged/unioned together.

An example of mixing different types of events counted on different CPUs:
```
$ perf stat -A -C 0,4-5,8 -e "instructions/cpu=0/,l1d-misses/cpu=4,cpu=5/,inst_retired.any/cpu=8/,cycles" -a sleep 0.1

 Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

CPU0            6,979,225      instructions/cpu=0/              #    0.89  insn per cycle
CPU4               75,138      cpu/l1d-misses/
CPU5            1,418,939      cpu/l1d-misses/
CPU8              797,553      cpu/inst_retired.any,cpu=8/
CPU0            7,845,302      cycles
CPU4            6,546,859      cycles
CPU5          185,915,438      cycles
CPU8            2,065,668      cycles
