root@x1:~# perf test -vvvvv 123
123: test Intel TPEBS counting mode:
--- start ---
test child forked, pid 2600160
Testing without --record-tpebs
Testing with --record-tpebs
---- end(-1) ----
123: test Intel TPEBS counting mode                                  : FAILED!
root@x1:~# grep -m1 "model name" /proc/cpuinfo 
model name	: 13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-1365U
root@x1:~#

What am I missing?

The current codebase is in tmp.perf-tools-next
