Currently, perf record is broken on arm/arm64 systems when the PMU is specified explicitly as part of the event, e.g.
$ ./perf record -e armv8_cortex_a53/cpu_cycles/u true
In such cases, perf record fails to open events unless perf_event_paranoid is set to -1, even if the PMU in question supports mode exclusion. Further, even when perf_event_paranoid is toggled, no samples are recorded.
This is an unintended side effect of commit:
e3ba76deef23064f ("perf tools: Force uncore events to system wide monitoring)
... which assumes that if a PMU has an associated cpu_map, it is an uncore PMU, and forces events for such PMUs to be system-wide.
This is not true for arm/arm64 systems, which can have heterogeneous CPUs. To account for this, multiple CPU PMUs are exposed, each with a "cpus" field under sysfs, which the perf tool parses into a cpu_map. ARM PMUs do not have a "cpumask" file, and only have a "cpus" file. For the gory details as to why, see commit:
7e3fcffe95544010 ("perf pmu: Support alternative sysfs cpumask")
Given all of this, we can instead identify uncore PMUs by explicitly checking for a "cpumask" file, and restore arm/arm64 PMU support back to a working state. This patch does so, adding a new perf_pmu::is_uncore field, and splitting the existing cpumask parsing so that it can be reused.
