Ok, Zhe, that patch is at the end of this message, and it is in:

[acme@five perf]$ git tag --contains cb71f7d43ece3d5a4f400f510c61b2ec7c9ce9a1 | grep ^v
v5.6-rc1
v5.6-rc2
v5.6-rc3
v5.6-rc4
[acme@five perf]$

Can you try with that?

libperf: Setup initial evlist::all_cpus value

Jann Horn reported crash in perf ftrace because evlist::all_cpus isn't
initialized if there's evlist without events, which is the case for perf
ftrace.

Adding initial initialization of evlist::all_cpus from given cpus,
regardless of events in the evlist.
