On hybrid systems, events like msr/tsc/ will aggregate counts across
all CPUs. Often metrics only want a value like msr/tsc/ for the cores
on which the metric is being computed. Listing each CPU with terms
cpu=0,cpu=1.. is laborious and would need to be encoded for all
variations of a CPU model.
Allow the cpumask from a PMU to be an argument to the cpu term. For
example in the following the cpumask of the cstate_pkg PMU selects the
CPUs to count msr/tsc/ counter upon:
```
$ cat /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cstate_pkg/cpumask
0
$ perf stat -A -e 'msr/tsc,cpu=cstate_pkg/' -a sleep 0.1
Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
CPU0 252,621,253 msr/tsc,cpu=cstate_pkg/
0.101184092 seconds time elapsed
```
As the cpu term is now also allowed to be a string, allow it to encode
a range of CPUs (a list can't be supported as ',' is already a special
token).
The "event qualifiers" section of the `perf list` man page is updated
to detail the additional behavior. The man page formatting is tidied
up in this section, as it was incorrectly appearing within the
"parameterized events" section.

README
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 reStructuredText 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.
