Right. But IIUC, the question was, would there be any issue if we allow
grouping of perf_sw_context sampling event as group leader and
perf_{hw|invalid}_context counting event as group member. I think no. It
should just work fine. And, there could be real usecases of it as you
described in one old thread[1].

TL;DR

Although I can't find any such pmu combination on AMD(not considering real
sw pmus), I just tried opposite scenario:

Group leader: msr/tsc/ as counting event (perf_sw_context)
Group member: ibs_op/cnt_ctl=1/ as sampling event (perf_invalid_context)

And a simple test program seems to work fine:
