perf evsel: Fix missing exclude_{host,guest} setting
The current logic for the perf missing feature has a bug that it can wrongly clear some modifiers like G or H. Actually some PMUs don't support any filtering or exclusion while others do. But we check it as a global feature. For example, the cycles event can have 'G' modifier to enable it only in the guest mode on x86. When you don't run any VMs it'll return 0. # perf stat -a -e cycles:G sleep 1 Performance counter stats for 'system wide': 0 cycles:G 1.000721670 seconds time elapsed But when it's used with other pmu events that don't support G modifier, it'll be reset and return non-zero values. # perf stat -a -e cycles:G,msr/tsc/ sleep 1 Performance counter stats for 'system wide': 538,029,960 cycles:G 16,924,010,738 msr/tsc/ 1.001815327 seconds time elapsed This is because of the missing feature detection logic being global. Add a hashmap to set pmu-specific exclude_host/guest features. Committer notes: Fix 'perf test python' by adding a stub for evsel__find_pmu() in tools/perf/util/python.c, document that it is used so far only for the above reasons so that if anybody needs this in the python binding usecases, we can revisit this.
