Ok, I will look at it next.

That is not enough. I can be sampling without PEBS and thus why I am comparing
to PEBS_REGS? If I recall by the time the kernel gets to this code,
the sample_regs_* has
already been validated to contain only supported registers. So you
need this extra check
to make sure that WHEN you are sampling with PEBS, then they are also
covered by PEBS.

Also if I sample with sample_regs_users != 0 and sample_regs_intr != 0
and PEBS, and
I get a kernel sample, I wonder how sample_regs_users can be updated from PEBS.
I think you can update from PEBS it ONLY when the sample was for a
user-level instruction
in which case both sample_regs_user and sample_regs_intr can be served
from the PEBS
machine state.
