[PATCH v7 3/6] perf record: Move setting tracking events before record__init_thread_masks()
From: Yang Jihong
Date: Fri Aug 25 2023 - 23:30:48 EST
User space tasks can migrate between CPUs, so when tracing selected CPUs,
sideband for all CPUs is needed. In this case set the cpu map of the evsel
to all online CPUs. This may modify the original cpu map of the evlist.
Therefore, need to check whether the preceding scenario exists before
record__init_thread_masks().
Dummy tracking has been set in record__open(), move it before
record__init_thread_masks() and add a helper for unified processing.
The sys_perf_event_open invoked is as follows:
# perf --debug verbose=3 record -e cpu-clock -D 100 true

Opening: cpu-clock

<SNIP>
perf test need to update base-record & system-wide-dummy attr expected values
for test-record-C0:
1. Because a dummy sideband event is added to the sampling of specified
CPUs. When evlist contains evsel of different sample_type,
evlist__config() will change the default PERF_SAMPLE_ID bit to
PERF_SAMPLE_IDENTIFICATION bit.
The attr sample_type expected value of base-record and system-wide-dummy
in test-record-C0 needs to be updated.
2. The perf record uses evlist__add_aux_dummy() instead of
evlist__add_dummy() to add a dummy event.
The expected value of system-wide-dummy attr needs to be updated.
The perf test result is as follows:
# ./perf test list 2>&1 | grep 'Setup struct perf_event_attr'
17: Setup struct perf_event_attr
# ./perf test 17
17: Setup struct perf_event_attr : Ok
