Samples without an L3 miss are discarded and counter is reset with random value (between 1-15 for fetch PMU and 1-127 for op PMU) when IBS L3 miss filtering is enabled. This causes a sampling period skew but there is no way to reconstruct aggregated sampling period. So print a warning at perf record if user sets l3missonly=1. Ex: # perf record -c 10000 -C 0 -e ibs_op/l3missonly=1/ WARNING: Hw internally resets sampling period when L3 Miss Filtering is enabled and tagged operation does not cause L3 Miss. This causes sampling period skew.
