The offending commit removed mmap_per_thread(), which did not consider
the different set-output rules for per-thread mmaps i.e. in the per-thread
case set-output is used for file descriptors of the same thread not the
same cpu.
This was not immediately noticed because it only happens with
multi-threaded targets and we do not have a test for that yet.
Reinstate mmap_per_thread() expanding it to cover also system-wide per-cpu
events i.e. to continue to allow the mixing of per-thread and per-cpu
mmaps.
Debug messages (with -vv) show the file descriptors that are opened with
sys_perf_event_open. New debug messages are added (needs -vvv) that show
also which file descriptors are mmapped and which are redirected with
set-output.
In the per-cpu case (cpu != -1) file descriptors for the same CPU are
set-output to the first file descriptor for that CPU.
In the per-thread case (cpu == -1) file descriptors for the same thread are
set-output to the first file descriptor for that thread.
Example (process 17489 has 2 threads):
Before (but with new debug prints):
$ perf record --no-bpf-event -vvv --per-thread -p 17489
<SNIP>
sys_perf_event_open: pid 17489 cpu -1 group_fd -1 flags 0x8 = 5
sys_perf_event_open: pid 17490 cpu -1 group_fd -1 flags 0x8 = 6
<SNIP>
libperf: idx 0: mmapping fd 5
libperf: idx 0: set output fd 6 -> 5
failed to mmap with 22 (Invalid argument)
After:
$ perf record --no-bpf-event -vvv --per-thread -p 17489
<SNIP>
sys_perf_event_open: pid 17489 cpu -1 group_fd -1 flags 0x8 = 5
sys_perf_event_open: pid 17490 cpu -1 group_fd -1 flags 0x8 = 6
<SNIP>
libperf: mmap_per_thread: nr cpu values (may include -1) 1 nr threads 2
libperf: idx 0: mmapping fd 5
libperf: idx 1: mmapping fd 6

Per-cpu example (process 20341 has 2 threads, same as above):
$ perf record --no-bpf-event -vvv -p 20341
<SNIP>
sys_perf_event_open: pid 20341 cpu 0 group_fd -1 flags 0x8 = 5
sys_perf_event_open: pid 20342 cpu 0 group_fd -1 flags 0x8 = 6
sys_perf_event_open: pid 20341 cpu 1 group_fd -1 flags 0x8 = 7
sys_perf_event_open: pid 20342 cpu 1 group_fd -1 flags 0x8 = 8
sys_perf_event_open: pid 20341 cpu 2 group_fd -1 flags 0x8 = 9
sys_perf_event_open: pid 20342 cpu 2 group_fd -1 flags 0x8 = 10
sys_perf_event_open: pid 20341 cpu 3 group_fd -1 flags 0x8 = 11
sys_perf_event_open: pid 20342 cpu 3 group_fd -1 flags 0x8 = 12
sys_perf_event_open: pid 20341 cpu 4 group_fd -1 flags 0x8 = 13
sys_perf_event_open: pid 20342 cpu 4 group_fd -1 flags 0x8 = 14
sys_perf_event_open: pid 20341 cpu 5 group_fd -1 flags 0x8 = 15
sys_perf_event_open: pid 20342 cpu 5 group_fd -1 flags 0x8 = 16
sys_perf_event_open: pid 20341 cpu 6 group_fd -1 flags 0x8 = 17
sys_perf_event_open: pid 20342 cpu 6 group_fd -1 flags 0x8 = 18
sys_perf_event_open: pid 20341 cpu 7 group_fd -1 flags 0x8 = 19

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.
