Subject: [PATCH 0/2] perf/core: deliver PERF_RECORD_COMM and PERF_RECORD_MMAP side-band events to all online cpus

Tasks are migrated between cores due to scheduling.
If perf samples specified CPUs, PERF_RECORD_COMM and PERF_RECORD_MMAP
events need be deliver to all cores to avoids the problem that the comm
and symbols cannot be parsed due to task migration to the target core.

The specific scenarios are as follows:

         CPU0                                 CPU1
  perf record -C 0 start
                              taskA starts to be created and executed
                                -> PERF_RECORD_COMM and PERF_RECORD_MMAP
                                   events only deliver to CPU1
                              ......
                                |
                          migrate to CPU0
                                |
  Running on CPU0    <----------/
  ...

  perf record -C 0 stop

Now perf samples the PC of taskA. However, perf does not record the
PERF_RECORD_COMM and PERF_RECORD_COMM events of taskA.
Therefore, the comm and symbols of taskA cannot be parsed.

Yang Jihong (2):
  perf/core: perf_iterate_sb_cpu() supports to receive side-band events
    for all oneline cpus
  perf/core: deliver PERF_RECORD_COMM and PERF_RECORD_MMAP side-band
    events to all online cpus
