Here is an example. A background perf that occupies all the GP counters and the fixed counter 1. $perf stat -e "{cycles,cycles,cycles,cycles,cycles,cycles,cycles, cycles,cycles}:D" -a A user monitors a TopDown group. It works well, because the fixed counter 3 and the PERF_METRICS are available. $perf stat -x, --topdown -- ./workload retiring,bad speculation,frontend bound,backend bound, 18.0,16.1,40.4,25.5, Then the user tries to monitor a group that has TopDown members. Because of the cycles event, the group is failed to be scheduled. $perf stat -x, -e '{slots,topdown-retiring,topdown-be-bound, topdown-fe-bound,topdown-bad-spec,cycles}' -- ./workload <not counted>,,slots,0,0.00,, <not counted>,,topdown-retiring,0,0.00,, <not counted>,,topdown-be-bound,0,0.00,, <not counted>,,topdown-fe-bound,0,0.00,, <not counted>,,topdown-bad-spec,0,0.00,, <not counted>,,cycles,0,0.00,, The user tries to monitor a TopDown group again. It doesn't work anymore. $perf stat -x, --topdown -- ./workload ,,,,, In a txn, cancel_txn() is to truncate the event_list for a canceled group and update the number of events added in this transaction. However, the number of TopDown events added in this transaction is not updated. The kernel will probably fail to add new Topdown events.
