It's quite common on some systems to have more CPUs enlisted as "possible", than there are (and could ever be) present/online CPUs. In such cases, perf_buffer creationg will fail due to inability to create perf event on missing CPU with error like this: libbpf: failed to open perf buffer event on cpu #16: No such device This patch fixes the logic of perf_buffer__new() to ignore CPUs that are missing or currently offline. In rare cases where user explicitly listed specific CPUs to connect to, behavior is unchanged: libbpf will try to open perf event buffer on specified CPU(s) anyways.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
