    perf tools: Force uncore events to system wide monitoring · e3ba76de
    Jiri Olsa authored
    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:
    
      [acme@jouet linux]$ perf stat usleep 1
