The code doesn't do that:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/perf/perf-tools-next.git/tree/tools/perf/util/pmus.c?h=perf-tools-next#n698
```
struct perf_pmu *evsel__find_pmu(const struct evsel *evsel)
{
struct perf_pmu *pmu = evsel->pmu;
if (!pmu) {
pmu = perf_pmus__find_by_type(evsel->core.attr.type);
((struct evsel *)evsel)->pmu = pmu;
}
return pmu;
}
```
That is, if the evsel->pmu is not NULL then just return it, otherwise
find the pmu using the type from the attribute. Any linear such should
happen at most once unless the pmu is NULL from event parsing or
perf_pmus__find_by_type. The PMU may be NULL for legacy events and if
sysfs isn't mounted. If you are encountering that then maybe we need a
flag to say don't find the PMU for this evsel as it is known NULL.
Thanks,
Ian
