As you say, this doesn't relate to the problem fixed here. I don't
have a problem with the command line behavior change but I think my
getting shouted at budget is fairly well exhausted. How about we trade
issues, if the following get fixed:

Renaming of the cycles event in arm_dsu_pmu.c - I'd say this is a top
priority issue right now.
Fixing ARM hybrid default perf stat (it is crazy we can accept this
being broken), opening events on both BIG.little PMUs as done here:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20240510053705.2462258-4-irogers@google.com/

I'll address this.

Thanks,
