ok, they work as expected. Could you try only "cycles"? The things are
that different events may attempt to borrow same resources already allocated
for another event, ie they can't run simultaneously. And iirc we encode
only a subset of chache events. Though all "general" events should work.
(by "general" events I mean "cycles", "instructions", "cache-references",
 "cache-misses", "branch-instructions", "branch-misses", "bus-cycles").
Could you check them one-by-one?
