This has nothing to do with sample-read; SLOTS cannot be sampling when
coupled with the METRIC stuff because hardware is daft.

And you can have SAMPLE_READ on non-leader events just fine.

Per the SIBLING patch this then wants to be:

if (!is_slots_event(leader))
return -EINVAL;

event->event_caps |= PERF_EV_CAP_SIBLING.
/*
* Only once we have a METRICs sibling to we
* need TopDown magic.
*/
leader->hw.flags |= PERF_X86_EVENT_TOPDOWN;

How does this depend on sampling?

That seems independent of sampling too. Even a sampling SLOTS shouldn't
be having any of those afaict.

This is confusing too, a !sampling SLOTS event without METRIC siblings
shouldn't have this set, right? So arguably, this should be like above.

This too seems like something that should be in the is_metric_event()
branch above.
