Subject: [PATCH] perf tools: fix failed to use cpu list for uncore events

From: Zhengjun Xing <[email protected]>

The 'perf record' and 'perf stat' commands have supported the option
'-C/--cpus' to count or collect only on the list of CPUs provided.
commit 1d3351e631fc ("perf tools: Enable on a list of CPUs for hybrid")
add it to be supported for hybrid. For hybrid support, it checks the
cpu list are available on hybrid PMU. But when we test only uncore
events(or events not in cpu_core and cpu_atom), there is a bug:

Before:
# perf stat -C0 -e uncore_clock/clockticks/ sleep 1
failed to use cpu list 0

In this case, for uncore event, its pmu_name is not cpu_core or cpu_atom,
so in evlist__fix_hybrid_cpus, perf_pmu__find_hybrid_pmu should return
NULL,both events_nr and unmatched_count should be 0 ,then the cpu list
check function evlist__fix_hybrid_cpus return -1 and the error "failed
to use cpu list 0" will happen. Bypass "events_nr=0" case then the issue
is fixed.

After:
# perf stat -C0 -e uncore_clock/clockticks/ sleep 1

Performance counter stats for 'CPU(s) 0':

195,476,873 uncore_clock/clockticks/

1.004518677 seconds time elapsed

When testing with at least one core event and uncore events, it has no
issue.

# perf stat -C0 -e cpu_core/cpu-cycles/,uncore_clock/clockticks/ sleep 1

Performance counter stats for 'CPU(s) 0':

5,993,774 cpu_core/cpu-cycles/
301,025,912 uncore_clock/clockticks/

1.003964934 seconds time elapsed
