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

Hi Jirka,

- struct pmu_events_map *map = perf_pmu__find_map(NULL);
+ struct pmu_events_map *map = find_cpumap();
so this is just for arm at the moment right?


Yes - but to be more accurate, arm64.

At the moment, from the archs which use pmu-events, only arm64 and nds32 have versions of get_cpuid_str() which require a non-NULL pmu argument.

But then apparently nds32 only supports a single CPU, so this issue of heterogeneous CPUs should not be a concern there :)

could we rather make this arch specific code, so we don't need
to do the scanning on archs where this is not needed?

like marking perf_pmu__find_map as __weak and add arm specific
version?

Well I was thinking that this code should not be in metricgroup.c anyway.

So there is code which is common in current perf_pmu__find_map() for all archs.

I could factor that out into a common function, below. Just a bit worried about perf_pmu__find_map() and perf_pmu__find_pmu_map() being confused.

Here's how that would look:

+++ b/tools/perf/arch/arm64/util/pmu.c

#include "../../util/cpumap.h"
#include "../../util/pmu.h"

struct pmu_events_map *perf_pmu__find_map(void)
{
struct perf_pmu *pmu = perf_pmu__find("armv8_pmuv3_0");

if (!pmu || !pmu->cpus || pmu->cpus->nr != cpu__max_cpu())
return NULL;

return perf_pmu__find_pmu_map(pmu);
}

Thoughts?
