Thanks, reproduced and applied, before the patch:

      # perf stat -M IpB,IpCall,IpTB,IPC,Retiring_SMT,Frontend_Bound_SMT,Kernel_Utilization,CPU_Utilization --metric-only -a -I 1000 sleep 2
      #           time      CPU_Utilization
           1.000470810                      free(): double free detected in tcache 2
      Aborted (core dumped)
