Thanks! This seems reasonable. But as Arnaldo says, why is there a skid in the access address while PEBS is used? Both RIP and Access Address should match, Right?Regards.

But that will access memory, no? The instruction at offset 0. Instruction fetches are not sampled by the MEM_INST_RETIRED event. This is an indirect jump through memory, so it accesses the memory at 0x2c8b3a(%rip). These kind of accesses are sampled by the event. Other memory accesses as part of other instructions may be sampled too. -Andi
