The perf subsystem assumes that the counters of a PMU are per-CPU. So the user space tool reads a counter from each CPU in the system wide mode. However, many PMUs don't have a per-CPU counter. The counter is effective for a scope, e.g., a die or a socket. To address this, a cpumask is exposed by the kernel driver to restrict to one CPU to stand for a specific scope. In case the given CPU is removed, the hotplug support has to be implemented for each such driver. The codes to support the cpumask and hotplug are very similar. - Expose a cpumask into sysfs - Pickup another CPU in the same scope if the given CPU is removed. - Invoke the perf_pmu_migrate_context() to migrate to a new CPU. - In event init, always set the CPU in the cpumask to event->cpu Similar duplicated codes are implemented for each such PMU driver. It would be good to introduce a generic infrastructure to avoid such duplication. 5 popular scopes are implemented here, core, die, cluster, pkg, and the system-wide. The scope can be set when a PMU is registered. If so, a "cpumask" is automatically exposed for the PMU. The "cpumask" is from the perf_online_<scope>_mask, which is to track the active CPU for each scope. They are set when the first CPU of the scope is online via the generic perf hotplug support. When a corresponding CPU is removed, the perf_online_<scope>_mask is updated accordingly and the PMU will be moved to a new CPU from the same scope if possible.
