A group mixed with hybrid event and global event is allowed. For example,
group leader is 'intel_pt//' and the group member is 'cpu_atom/cycles/'.

e.g.
perf record --aux-sample -e '{intel_pt//,cpu_atom/cycles/}:u'

The challenge is their available cpus are not fully matched. For example,
'intel_pt//' is available on CPU0-CPU23, but 'cpu_atom/cycles/' is
available on CPU16-CPU23.

When getting the group id for group member, we must be very careful.
Because the cpu for 'intel_pt//' is not equal to the cpu for
'cpu_atom/cycles/'. Actually the cpu here is the index of evsel->core.cpus,
not the real CPU ID.

e.g. cpu0 for 'intel_pt//' is CPU0, but cpu0 for 'cpu_atom/cycles/' is CPU16.

Before:

# perf record --aux-sample -e '{intel_pt//,cpu_atom/cycles/}:u' -vv uname

The group_fd 5 is not correct. It should be 22 (the fd of
'intel_pt' on CPU16).

could this be better name:

why do we call BUG_ON on the first one and return -1 on the other?
they are equally bad no?


For first one, evsel1 is hybrid event and evsel2 is global event. The evsel1 is only available on part of CPUs and evsel2 is avaialbe on total CPUs.

So 'perf_cpu_map__idx(evsel2->core.cpus, cpuid);' must return a valid cpu index otherwise there should be a bug here.

For second one, evsel1 is global event and evsel2 is hybrid event. The evsel2 is only available on part of CPUs. It's possible that cpuid is not in the range of evsel2->core.cpus. So it's not a bug.

could you put that into separate function, like

cpu = evsel__hybrid_group_fd(evsel, cpu);


Sure, that's OK.

Thanks
