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.
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

Dear Maintainer,
perf stat -e r5101c4 true
reports "not supported".
The counters worked in kernel 6.11.10.
I first noticed this not working when updating to 6.12.22. Booting back to 6.11.10, the counters work correctly.
Does this ring a bell?
Would you be able to bisect the changes to identify where the behaviour changed?
