Hi Arnaldo,
I know you asked me this before Re. fixes tags ... but I don't know any
cases of "metrics using aliases covering multiple PMUs" in mainline
today (which this patch addresses). If there are some, then I guess that
they are broken and we should seek them out.
Note that this topic was discussed here initially:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-perf-users/CAP-5=fuy6fosznrwjf6znpqqssyrnlpv6gbkeczmqahup3x...@mail.gmail.com/
There has been much churn on the metric code recently, so prob not a
straight stable backport; as such, I would prefer to know some metric
was broken and verify we fix it.
If you have any better ideas to handle this, then please let me know.
Cheers,
John
