Subject: Re: [PATCH] perf tools: Fix bug when recording SPE and non SPE events

Yeah.
To be more accurate, I'd suggest to be only one SPE file if CPUs have
the same SPE version. If there have multiple SPE files under
'/sys/bus/event_source/devices/', this means the CPUs have different
SPE versions
Let's see an example for SMP platform with 4xCA53 CPUs:
/sys/bus/event_source/devices/armv8_cortex_a53
For big.LITTLE system, we can see below nodes:
/sys/bus/event_source/devices/armv8_cortex_a53
/sys/bus/event_source/devices/armv8_cortex_a72
If SPE has the same IP for all CPUs, this would be simple to only
create on file under /sys/bus/event_source/devices/.

This is caused by the code [1]. But I don't know what's the reason
for adding index to PMU event name.
Thanks,
