Subject: Re: [PATCH] perf tools: Fix gaps propagating maps

Can't this be broken up in multiple patches, for instance this:
int perf_evlist__create_maps(struct perf_evlist *evlist, struct
target *target)
{
+ if (evlist->threads || evlist->cpus)
+ return -1;
+
Looks like a fix that could be separated. Also FOO__propagate(.., false)
to do the opposite of propagate seems confusing, how about
FOO__unpropagate() if that verb exists? :-)
Also, when unpropagating, you do:
if (evsel->cpus == evlist->cpus) {
cpu_map__put(evsel->cpus);
evsel->cpus = NULL;
}
What if the PMU code _set_ it to the same cpus as in evlist->cpus, but
now we're unpropagating to set to another CPU, in this case we will be
changing the PMU setting with a new one. I.e. when a PMU sets it it
should be sticky, no?
I.e. we would have to know, in the evsel, if evsel->cpus was set by the
PMU or any other future entity expecting this behaviour, so that we
don't touch it, i.e. testing (evsel->cpus != evlist->cpus) when
unpropagating doesn't seem to cut, right?
