It no longer reverts cleanly. And the previous patch - 4ca69ca9db3a - 
did not have this crash:
root@...alhost:~# ./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 0.001 MB perf.data (6 samples) ]

Here's the valgrind output:
