A per-thread event could not be created correctly like below:
perf record --per-thread -e rB0000 -- sleep 1
Error:
The sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 19 (No such device) for event (rB0000).
/bin/dmesg may provide additional information.
No CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS=y kernel support configured?

cpumask: make "nr_cpumask_bits" unsigned
If a per-thread event is not attached to any CPU, the cpu field
in struct perf_event is -1. The above commit converts the CPU number
to unsigned int, which result in an illegal CPU number.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
