I'm not particularly knowledgeable about perf tool so just some superficial comments
from me.

Maybe a local variable for itr - or if you can rely on c99 in perf tool
a compound literal to use structure field names etc.

	pmcu_record->itr = (struct xxx){
		.recording_options = ,
etc

Probably want to update the dates if any substantial changes for v2.
