If all_cpus is calculated it represents the merge/union of all evsel cpu maps. By default user_requested_cpus is computed to be the online CPUs. For uncore events, it is often the case currently that all_cpus is a subset of user_requested_cpus. Metrics printed without aggregation and with metric-only, in print_no_aggr_metric, iterate over user_requested_cpus assuming every CPU has a metric to print. For each CPU the prefix is printed, but then if the evsel's cpus doesn't contain anything you get an empty line like the following on a 2 socket 36 core SkylakeX: ``` $ perf stat -A -M DRAM_BW_Use -a --metric-only -I 1000 1.000453137 CPU0 0.00 1.000453137 1.000453137 1.000453137 1.000453137 1.000453137 1.000453137 1.000453137 1.000453137 1.000453137 1.000453137 1.000453137 1.000453137 1.000453137 1.000453137 1.000453137 1.000453137 1.000453137 1.000453137 CPU18 0.00 1.000453137 1.000453137 1.000453137 1.000453137 1.000453137 1.000453137 1.000453137 1.000453137 1.000453137 1.000453137 1.000453137 1.000453137 1.000453137 1.000453137 1.000453137 1.000453137 1.000453137 2.003717143 CPU0 0.00 ... ``` While it is possible to be lazier in printing the prefix and trailing newline, having user_requested_cpus not be a subset of all_cpus is preferential so that wasted work isn't done elsewhere user_requested_cpus is used. The change modifies user_requested_cpus to be the intersection of user specified CPUs, or default all online CPUs, with the CPUs computed through the merge of all evsel cpu maps.
