Actually, this might be down to the IDX2OFF() macro being borked for non
power-of-two buffer sizes.

Do you have Will's latest fixes? In his tree there's a commit:

  4f331cd62531dce2 ("squash! drivers/perf: Add support for ARMv8.2 Statistical Profiling Extension")

... which should fix the IDX2OFF() bug.

It's be good to reproduce the issue if we can, regardless.

Thanks,
Mark.
