For the store operation, I found we need to use more strictly criteria
to check memory operations, otherwise, we might wrongly synthesize
memory sample even for other types of operations.
To fix the issue, I think we need to add below patch; if this is okay
for you, please consider to include it in the next patch set version.
Thanks,
Leo

Subject: [PATCH] perf arm-spe: Don't set data source if it's not a memory
operation
Except memory load and store operations, Arm SPE records also can
support other operation types, bug when set the data source field the
current code assumes a record is a either load operation or store
operation, this leads to wrongly synthesize memory samples.
This patch strictly checks the record operation type, it only sets data
source only for the operation types ARM_SPE_LD and ARM_SPE_ST,
otherwise, returns zero for data source. Therefore, we can synthesize
memory samples only when data source is a non-zero value, the function
arm_spe__is_memory_event() is useless and removed.
