Oh, right, the patch set based on the perf/core branch which doesn't
include the latest fix, 90befef5a9e8 ("perf/x86: Fix missing sample size
update on AMD BRS").

Could you please backport the 90befef5a9e8 to your perf/core branch?
Then I will fold the below change into V3.
Or should I rebase the patch set on top of perf/urgent?
