hi,
I recall there was some issue wrt threading and intel_pt,
which we either need to fixed or we need to disable threads
for it

	[root@...va perf]# ./perf record -e intel_pt// --threads=cpu
	^C[ perf record: Woken up 121 times to write data ]
	Warning:
	AUX data lost 95 times out of 206!

	[ perf record: Captured and wrote 211.364 MB perf.data ]

	[root@...va perf]# ./perf script
	Segmentation fault (core dumped)

the fix should already be in the perf/record_threads branch,
