Make system wide (-a) the default option if no target was specified and
one of following conditions is met:
- there's no workload specified (current behaviour)
- there is workload specified but all requested
events are system wide ones
Mixed events core/uncore with workload:
$ perf stat -e 'uncore_cbox_0/clockticks/,cycles' sleep 1
Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1':
<not supported> uncore_cbox_0/clockticks/
980,489 cycles
1.000897406 seconds time elapsed
Uncore event with workload:
$ perf stat -e 'uncore_cbox_0/clockticks/' sleep 1
Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
281,473,897,192,670 uncore_cbox_0/clockticks/
1.000833784 seconds time elapsed
Committer note:
When testing I realized the default case for !root, i.e. no events
passed via -e, was broke by v2 of this patch, reported and after a
patch provided by Jiri it is back working:
