got an arm server and patch below works for me.. could you please test?

thanks,

John reported crash when recording on an event under
pmu with cpumask defined:

  root@...alhost:~# ./perf_debug_ record -e armv8_pmuv3_0/br_mis_pred/ sleep 1
  perf: Segmentation fault
  Obtained 9 stack frames.
  ./perf_debug_() [0x4c5ef8]

  Segmentation fault (core dumped)

We synthesize an update event that needs to touch the evsel
id array, which is not defined at that time. Fixing this by
forcing the id allocation for events with theeir own cpus.
