Subject: [PATCH] perf tools: Handle sparse CPU numbers correctly
At present, the perf subcommands that do system-wide monitoring
(perf stat, perf record and perf top) don't work properly unless
the online cpus are numbered 0, 1, ..., N-1. These tools ask for
the number of online cpus with sysconf(_SC_NPROCESSORS_ONLN) and
then try to create events for cpus 0, 1, ..., N-1.
This creates problems for systems where the online cpus are
numbered sparsely. For example, a POWER6 system in single-threaded
mode (i.e. only running 1 hardware thread per core) will have only
even-numbered cpus online.
This fixes the problem by reading the /sys/devices/system/cpu/online
file to find out which cpus are online. The code that does that is
in tools/perf/util/cpumap.[ch], and consists of a read_cpu_map()
function that sets up a cpumap[] array and returns the number of
online cpus. If /sys/devices/system/cpu/online can't be read or
can't be parsed successfully, it falls back to using sysconf to ask
how many cpus are online and sets up an identity map in cpumap[].
The perf record, perf stat and perf top code then calls read_cpu_map()
in the system-wide monitoring case (instead of sysconf) and uses
cpumap[] to get the cpu numbers to pass to perf_event_open.

I think this approach is a bit better than my previous approach of
just keeping on incrementing the cpu number.
