Hi Jeremy,

Apologies for the late reply on this.

With heterogeneous PMUs its helpful to know which PMUs are bound

similar to other PMUs.

Have you tested trying to stat on a particular PMU? e.g.

$ perf stat -e armv8_cortex_a53/cpu_cycles/ ls

I found that the presence of a cpumask file would cause (at least some
versions) of perf-stat to hang, and was holding off adding a cpumask
until we had a solution to that.

Nice!

I guess that is more proof that any tiny change can break things.. Another "fix" is to make the cpumap_print_to_pagebuf's first parameter false which apparently keeps perf from understanding the cpu mask and forces the user to use numactl, which is ugly because numactrl doesn't understand the mask in that format either.

I guess fixing perf is probably the best bet here...




See [1,2] for more details on that.

This should be generic across the arm-pmu code, and so should live under
drivers/perf/.

Which is where i had it initially, but (IIRC) getting to work there required some core pmu changes that seemed a little ugly. I guess I didn't like the idea of reallocating the per pmu attr group or tweaking the pmu core code.. So I just moved it into perf_event where it fit more naturally.




Thanks,
Mark.
