Commit 2f217d58a8 ("perf/x86/amd/uncore: Set the thread mask for
F17h L3 PMCs") inadvertently changed the uncore driver's behaviour
wrt perf tool invocations with or without a CPU list, specified with
-C / --cpu=.
Change the behaviour of the driver to assume the former all-cpu (-a)
case, which is the more commonly desired default. This fixes
'-a -A' invocations without explicit cpu lists (-C) to not count
L3 events only on behalf of the first thread of the first core
in the L3 domain.
BEFORE:
Activity performed by the first thread of the last core (CPU#43) in
CPU#40's L3 domain is not reported by CPU#40:
sudo perf stat -a -A -e l3_request_g1.caching_l3_cache_accesses taskset -c 43 perf bench mem memcpy -s 32mb -l 100 -f default
...
CPU36 21,835 l3_request_g1.caching_l3_cache_accesses
CPU40 87,066 l3_request_g1.caching_l3_cache_accesses
CPU44 17,360 l3_request_g1.caching_l3_cache_accesses
...
AFTER:
The L3 domain activity is now reported by CPU#40:
sudo perf stat -a -A -e l3_request_g1.caching_l3_cache_accesses taskset -c 43 perf bench mem memcpy -s 32mb -l 100 -f default
...
CPU36 354,891 l3_request_g1.caching_l3_cache_accesses
CPU40 1,780,870 l3_request_g1.caching_l3_cache_accesses
CPU44 315,062 l3_request_g1.caching_l3_cache_accesses
...
