The intention is to check 3 bits of rand_samp_elig field and 2 bits of rand_samp_mode field from the sampling bits. Basically we first want to extract that sample field using EV_CODE_EXTRACT macro and then fetch required value of rand_samp_elig and rand_samp_mode, to compare it with MMCRA bits. Right approach to do that would be: FAIL_IF((EV_CODE_EXTRACT(event.attr.config, sample) >> 2) != get_mmcra_rand_samp_elig(get_reg_value(intr_regs, "MMCRA"), 4)); FAIL_IF((EV_CODE_EXTRACT(event.attr.config, sample) & 0x3) != get_mmcra_rand_samp_elig(get_reg_value(intr_regs, "MMCRA"), 4)); I will send a fix patch for same.
