That is, we must differentiate between when a CPU was being recorded but produced no information, and when the user used a CPU mask to record. If CPU 1 has no data, it should report it did in both the record and the report commands of trace-cmd, unless, the user had masked out CPU 1, where it was not part of the record. That information needs to be saved somewhere. If the user did mask out CPUs, that could be saved in an option. And then when a CPU does not have data, if it was masked out, nothing is to be reported, otherwise it is. We also have to know how many CPUs were recorded, such that if he last CPU doesn't have data, we report that if it was recorded. -- Steve
