Subject: [PATCH v6 04/28] perf stat: Avoid wildcarding PMUs for default events
Date: Tue, 23 Sep 2025 15:32:48 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250923223312.238185-5-irogers@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250923223312.238185-1-irogers@google.com>

Without a PMU perf matches an event against any PMU with the
event. Unfortunately some PMU drivers advertise a "cycles" event which
is typically just a core event. To make perf's behavior consistent,
just look up default events with their designated PMU types.
