It seems that any metric which includes "duration_time" is broken, even 
on x86:

john@...alhost:~/acme/tools/perf> sudo ./perf stat -v -M 
L1D_Cache_Fill_BW sleep 1
Using CPUID GenuineIntel-6-3D-4
metric expr 64 * l1d.replacement / 1000000000 / duration_time for 
L1D_Cache_Fill_BW
found event duration_time
found event l1d.replacement
adding {l1d.replacement}:W,duration_time
l1d.replacement -> cpu/umask=0x1,(null)=0x1e8483,event=0x51/
Segmentation fault


Seems to be from my commit c2337d67199 ("perf metricgroup: Fix metrics 
using aliases covering multiple PMUs")

I'll look to fix it now.

Thanks,
John
