This is getting hard to understand.  IIUC this propagation basically
sets user requested cpus to evsel unless it has its own cpus, right?

But the hybrid pmus make this complex.  Maybe we can move the
logic in evlist__fix_hybrid_cpus() here and simplify it like below

if (evsel->own_cpus) {
   if (evsel->pmu->is_hybrid)
      evsel->cpus = fixup_hybrid_cpus(evsel>own_cpus,
                                      evlist->user_requested_cpus);  //?
   else
      evsel->cpus = evlist->own_cpus;  // put + get
} else {
   evsel->cpus = evlist->user_requested_cpus;  // put + get
}

Then we need to make sure evsel->pmu is set properly.

What do you think?

Thanks,
Namhyung
