Kan reported that n_metric gets corrupted for cancelled transactions;
a similar issue exists for n_pair for AMD's Large Increment thing.
The problem was confirmed and confirmed fixed by Kim using:
sudo perf stat -e "{cycles,cycles,cycles,cycles}:D" -a sleep 10 &
# should succeed:
sudo perf stat -e "{fp_ret_sse_avx_ops.all}:D" -a workload
# should fail:
sudo perf stat -e "{fp_ret_sse_avx_ops.all,fp_ret_sse_avx_ops.all,cycles}:D" -a workload
# previously failed, now succeeds with this patch:
sudo perf stat -e "{fp_ret_sse_avx_ops.all}:D" -a workload

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
