SubjectRe: [PATCH] perf/trace : Fix repetitious traces of perf on tracepoint When i use perf to trace the sched_wakeup_new tracepoint, there is a bug that output the same event repetitiously. It can be reproduced by :

I'm sorry I gave an inappropriate example to make the phenomenon look
confusing.

These events are registered per_cpu and attach in the the
perf_event_ctxp of task too.
So the same event is placed in the process context CPU times.

perf record -e sched:sched_wakeup_new -vv bug_fork
......
sys_perf_event_open: pid 1063 cpu 0 group_fd -1 flags 0x8 = 4
sys_perf_event_open: pid 1063 cpu 1 group_fd -1 flags 0x8 = 5
sys_perf_event_open: pid 1063 cpu 2 group_fd -1 flags 0x8 = 6
sys_perf_event_open: pid 1063 cpu 3 group_fd -1 flags 0x8 = 8
mmap size 528384B
perf event ring buffer mmapped per cpu

So the bug is, we match the same event NR_CPU times when tracing the
waken(child process in my demo).


I will modify my commit, and make it clearer.


Thanks.
