Snapshot the host's DEBUGCTL after disabling IRQs, as perf can toggle debugctl bits from IRQ context, e.g. when enabling/disabling events via smp_call_function_single(). Taking the snapshot (long) before IRQs are disabled could result in KVM effectively clobbering DEBUGCTL due to using a stale snapshot.
