Re: [PATCH v2] perf evlist: Fix 'perf record -C xx' failed issue

[Chunxin Zang]

Sorry, I'm a little out of it, maybe because I didn't sleep at noon. This version is deprecated, v1 is correct.

v1: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-kernel/20240319084022.2036296-1-spring.cxz@xxxxxxxxx/T/#u

Best wishes
Chunxin
