From: Kan Liang <kan.liang@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 1d5c7880992a06679585e7e568cc679c0c5fd4f2 upstream. Perf errors out when sampling instructions:ppp. $ perf record -e instructions:ppp -- true Error: The sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 22 (Invalid argument) for event (instructions:ppp). The instruction PDIR is only available on the fixed counter 0. The event constraint has been updated to fixed0_constraint in icl_get_event_constraints(). The Sapphire Rapids codes unconditionally error out for the event which is not available on the GP counter 0. Make the instructions:ppp an exception.
