Subject: Re: [PATCH] perf, x86: Fix Intel shared extra MSR allocation

Ok, I found the problem. It was in intel_fixup_er().
Unlike in the original code, this routine must update
the event->extra_reg.idx to the idx parameter instead
of trying to swap out from it.

I will repost an updated version (v2).
