[ Upstream commit f7e36d02d771ee14acae1482091718460cffb321 ]
Since the linked fixes: commit, specifying a CPU on hybrid platforms
results in an error because Perf tries to open an extended type event
on "any" CPU which isn't valid. Extended type events can only be opened
on CPUs that match the type.
Before (working):
$ perf record --cpu 1 -- true
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 2.385 MB perf.data (7 samples) ]
After (not working):
$ perf record -C 1 -- true
WARNING: A requested CPU in '1' is not supported by PMU 'cpu_atom' (CPUs 16-27) for event 'cycles:P'
Error:
The sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 22 (Invalid argument) for event (cpu_atom/cycles:P/).
/bin/dmesg | grep -i perf may provide additional information.
(Ignore the warning message, that's expected and not particularly
relevant to this issue).
This is because perf_cpu_map__intersect() of the user specified CPU (1)
and one of the PMU's CPUs (16-27) correctly results in an empty (NULL)
CPU map. However for the purposes of opening an event, libperf converts
empty CPU maps into an any CPU (-1) which the kernel rejects.
Fix it by deleting evsels with empty CPU maps in the specific case where
user requested CPU maps are evaluated.
