Hello,

I was wondering if it's possible to run smpl_amd64_ibs at the same
time with the pfmon sessions which are tracking hardware counters on
AMD Barcelona.

The problem here is that smpl_amd64_ibs terminates with the error
"pfm_load_context error errno 16" whenever there is a pfmon session
tracking LLC miss rate on the system. Since IBS events are tracked and
controlled via MSR registers which are directly accessible from user
space and, to the best of my knowledge, work independently from
hardware counter registers, I wonder if this behaviour of pfmon is
indeed necessary.

Thank you!
