[PATCH 1/5] perf metricgroup: Support printing metrics for arm64

From: John Garry
Date: Wed Mar 03 2021 - 13:24:11 EST


Calling perf_pmu__find_map(NULL) returns the cpumap for the common CPU
PMU. However arm64 supports heterogeneous-CPU based systems, and so there
may be no common CPU PMU. As such, perf_pmu__find_map(NULL) returns NULL
for arm64.

To support printing metrics for arm64, iterate through all PMUs, looking
for a CPU PMU, and use the cpumap there for determining supported metrics.

For heterogeneous systems (like arm big.LITTLE), supporting metrics has
potential challenges, like not all CPUs in a system not supporting a
specific metric event. So just don't support it for now.
