Why does fl1 exist? the above looks really convoluted, all fl1 checks
inside are pointless. Also 'fl1' is a bizarre name, 'pebs_ll' would be a
better name I guess.

What's wrong with:

if (event->hw.flags & PERF_X86_EVENT_PEBS_LDLAT) {
if (sample_type & PERF_SAMPLE_ADDR)
data.addr = pebs->dla;

if (sample_type & PERF_SAMPLE_COST)
data.cost = perf->lat;

if (sample_type & PERF_SAMPLE_DSRC)
data.dsrc.val = load_latency_data(pebs->dse);
}
