The CPU map for a non-core PMU gives a default CPU value for perf_event_open. For core PMUs the CPU map lists all CPUs the evsel may be opened on. If there are >1 core PMU, the CPU maps will list the CPUs for that core PMU, but the user_requested_cpus may contain CPUs that are invalid for the PMU and cause perf_event_open to fail. To avoid this, when propagating the CPU map for core PMUs intersect it with the CPU map of the PMU (the evsel's "own_cpus"). Add comments to __perf_evlist__propagate_maps to explain its somewhat complex behavior. Fix the related comments for system_wide in struct perf_evsel.

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.
