Subject: [PATCH v7 03/27] perf stat: Avoid wildcarding PMUs for default events
Date: Sun,  5 Oct 2025 11:24:06 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251005182430.2791371-4-irogers@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251005182430.2791371-1-irogers@google.com>

Without a PMU perf matches an event against any PMU with the
event. Unfortunately some PMU drivers advertise a "cycles" event which
is typically just a core event. To make perf's behavior consistent,
just look up default events with their designated PMU types.
