So this relates to the CPU map "empty" problem that I've been moaning
about for a time with Adrian, Arnaldo, etc. The CPU map can contain -1
for the "any CPU" case in perf_event_open, it can also contain CPU
values after this as the result of a merge. Having only -1 in the CPU
map is referred to as a dummy (presumably because the dummy event uses
it), what does it mean if you have the -1 and CPU values? Things get
really messy when you look at what the definition of empty is. Here
I've used the term from perf_event_open that -1 means this can be on
any CPU. As the CPU map data is sorted we can take advantage that the
"any CPU" value always comes first. If we have it we set the bit here.
We also use the bit below so that we ignore the first array element if
it has -1 in it. As the -1 adjusts the CPU map size, there are some
other adjustments as well. Hopefully this makes things clearer and I
want to rewrite parts of the CPU map API to make them clearer too -
empty should mean == NULL or nr == 0, dummy is more confusing to me
than "any CPU", etc.

Thanks,
Ian
