#87407 — Bug#1104796: perf r5101c4 counter regression

Hi,

Pasi Kallinen reported in Debian a regression with perf r5101c4
counter, initially it was found in
https://github.com/rr-debugger/rr/issues/3949 but said to be a kernel
problem.

Does this ring a bell?

Would you be able to bisect the changes to identify where the
behaviour changed?

What's the '51' part?  I don't think it's defined.

  $ grep . -r /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/format/
  /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/format/event:config:0-7
  /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/format/pc:config:19
  /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/format/edge:config:18
  /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/format/offcore_rsp:config1:0-63
  /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/format/ldlat:config1:0-15
  /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/format/inv:config:23
  /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/format/umask:config:8-15
  /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/format/frontend:config1:0-23
  /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/format/cmask:config:24-31


Nothing for bit 16, 20 and 22 on the 'config' field.

Is it possible to fix rr to use a correct event encoding instead?

Thanks,
Namhyung
