When recording with cache-misses and arm_spe_x event, i found that
it will just fail without showing any error info if i put cache-misses
after arm_spe_x event.

[root@localhost 0620]# perf record -e cache-misses -e \
arm_spe_0/ts_enable=1,pct_enable=1,pa_enable=1,load_filter=1,\
jitter=1,store_filter=1,min_latency=0/ sleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.067 MB perf.data ]
[root@localhost 0620]# perf record -e \
arm_spe_0/ts_enable=1,pct_enable=1,pa_enable=1,load_filter=1,jitter=1,\
store_filter=1,min_latency=0/ -e cache-misses sleep 1
[root@localhost 0620]#

Finally, i found the reason is that the parameter 'arm_spe_pmu' passed to
arm_spe_recording_init() in auxtrace_record__init() is wrong. When the
arm_spe_x event is not the last event, 'arm_spe_pmus[i]' will be out of
bounds.

It seems that the code can't support concurrent multiple different
arm_spe_x events currently. So add the code to check and record the
found 'arm_spe_pmu' to fix this issue.

In fact, we don't support concurrent multiple same arm_spe_x events either,
that is checked in arm_spe_recording_options(), and it will show the
relevant info.

(SPE) support")
