Subject: Re: [PATCH v2 6/6] perf parse-events: Add "cpu" term to set the CPU
 an event is recorded on

I ran into cpu=N having no effect unless -C is also used. For example:

  $ perf stat -vv -e branch-misses/cpu=1/ -- true

  sys_perf_event_open: pid 10233  cpu -1  group_fd -1  flags 0x8 = 3

Vs:

  $ perf stat -C 0,1 -vv -e branch-misses/cpu=1/ -- true

  sys_perf_event_open: pid -1  cpu 1  group_fd -1  flags 0x8 = 3

Is it possible to have a warning or error in that case? Seems like it's 
quite likely to confuse a user.

Other than that it seems to work ok.

WRT the RAPL issue [1], I didn't quite follow how these two things will 
join up. Doesn't this only end up setting the cpu argument to 
perf_event_open(), which already aggregates per package rather than per 
core, even if the cpu is set? And the fix for that behavior was rejected 
because it would break Intel metrics [2].

Maybe I'm missing a piece.
