Cool, so this works ok:
root@localhost:~# ./perf_debug record -e armv8_pmuv3_0/br_mis_pred/ sleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.002 MB perf.data (6 samples) ]
root@localhost:~# ./perf_debug report
# To display the perf.data header info, please use 
--header/--header-only option
#
#
# Total Lost Samples: 0
#
# Samples: 6  of event 'armv8_pmuv3_0/br_mis_pred/'
# Event count (approx.): 3369

In terms of adding to stable, LT v4.14 is not affected, but 4.18.x is.

Thanks,
