Yes I think you're right. But when I tested this it was on a machine
with all CPUs online, and all traced, so I think idx == cpu.cpu. So
although this might need to be fixed it didn't cause the breakage.

Also this line of code was also never hit because the issue was the
intersect returning an empty map before here.

If you're not ok with the intersection behavior that I suggested, then
maybe we need a new function like perf_cpu_map__flatten() or
perf_cpu_map__expand() which can be used in these two cases which does
behave in that way. It doesn't look like it needs any more re-writing,
it's just the perf_cpu_map__intersect() needs to behave slightly
differently in this case.

It's because ETM cares about validating and saving the configuration
per-core, even if you finally open the event with CPU==-1, because later
we'll need all that info to decode the trace.

Although I can't see what scenario that you wouldn't want ('any'
intersect '1,2') == '1,2'. Is there any code in Perf that's already
doing that that would be broken by that change? It might be best to have
that behavior earlier rather than later in case something does start
depending on it.

As far as I know you can't do both per-thread and per-cpu sessions in
Perf, so it doesn't really matter how the intersection behaves in that
scenario.
