[PATCH v3 08/15] perf python: Validate CPU and thread maps in pyrf_evsel__open
From: Ian Rogers
Date: Sun Aug 09 2026 - 03:18:50 EST
Add explicit Py_TYPE checks to ensure the arguments passed are
actually of the correct pyrf_thread_map and pyrf_cpu_map types.
Fixes: 877108e42b1b ("perf tools: Initial python binding")
