Subject: [PATCH v2] perf metricgroup: Avoid scanning unnecessary PMUs for identifier match
Date: Thu, 30 Apr 2026 09:17:25 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260430161725.3131665-1-irogers@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <acyWR2GAWIY7TKyD@google.com>
Only uncore PMUs can have an identifier, so add an optimized
perf_pmus__scan routine for that case to avoid all PMU types being
created.
