[PATCH] perf evsel: Adjust hybrid event and global event mixed group

From: Jin Yao
Date: Mon May 31 2021 - 21:40:49 EST


A group mixed with hybrid event and global event is allowed. For example,
group leader is 'intel_pt//' and the group member is 'cpu_atom/cycles/'.

e.g.
perf record --aux-sample -e '{intel_pt//,cpu_atom/cycles/}:u'

The challenge is their available cpus are not fully matched. For example,
'intel_pt//' is available on CPU0-CPU23, but 'cpu_atom/cycles/' is
available on CPU16-CPU23.

When getting the group id for group member, we must be very careful.
Because the cpu for 'intel_pt//' is not equal to the cpu for
'cpu_atom/cycles/'. Actually the cpu here is the index of evsel->core.cpus,
not the real CPU ID.

e.g. cpu0 for 'intel_pt//' is CPU0, but cpu0 for 'cpu_atom/cycles/' is CPU16.

Before:

# perf record --aux-sample -e '{intel_pt//,cpu_atom/cycles/}:u' -vv uname

The group_fd 5 is not correct. It should be 22 (the fd of
'intel_pt' on CPU16).
