[PATCH v6 3/7] perf record: Move setting dummy tracking before record__init_thread_masks()

From: Yang Jihong
Date: Sun Aug 20 2023 - 21:30:39 EST


User space tasks can migrate between CPUs, so when tracing selected CPUs,
sideband for all CPUs is needed. In this case set the cpu map of the evsel
to all online CPUs. This may modify the original cpu map of the evlist.
Therefore, need to check whether the preceding scenario exists before
record__init_thread_masks().
Dummy tracking has been set in record__open(), move it before
record__init_thread_masks() and add a helper for unified processing.

The sys_perf_event_open invoked is as follows:

# perf --debug verbose=3 record -e cpu-clock -D 100 true
