In some architectures we can't encode the PMU number in perf_event_attr.type and thus can't just ask for the same event in multiple CPUs (and thus PMUs), that is what we want in hybrid systems but we can't when that encoding isn't understood by the kernel, such as in ARM64's big.LITTLE. If that is the case, fallback to the previous behaviour till we find a better solution to have consistent output accross architectures with hybrid CPU configurations.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
