|         return (cpuc->pebs_enabled & ((1ULL << MAX_PEBS_EVENTS) - 1));
| }


| void intel_pmu_pebs_disable(struct perf_event *event)
| {
|         struct cpu_hw_events *cpuc = this_cpu_ptr(&cpu_hw_events);
|         struct hw_perf_event *hwc = &event->hw;
|         struct debug_store *ds = cpuc->ds;
| 
|         cpuc->pebs_enabled &= ~(1ULL << hwc->idx);

Here we clear it...

|         if (event->hw.flags & PERF_X86_EVENT_PEBS_LDLAT)
|                 cpuc->pebs_enabled &= ~(1ULL << (hwc->idx + 32));
|         else if (event->hw.flags & PERF_X86_EVENT_PEBS_ST)
|                 cpuc->pebs_enabled &= ~(1ULL << 63);
| 
|         if (ds->pebs_interrupt_threshold >
|             ds->pebs_buffer_base + x86_pmu.pebs_record_size) {
|                 intel_pmu_drain_pebs_buffer();

Here we drain the buffer; which uses ->pebs_enabled

|                 if (!pebs_is_enabled(cpuc))

And here we test it

|                         perf_sched_cb_dec(event->ctx->pmu);
|         }
| 
|         if (cpuc->enabled)
|                 wrmsrl(MSR_IA32_PEBS_ENABLE, cpuc->pebs_enabled);
| 
|         hwc->config |= ARCH_PERFMON_EVENTSEL_INT;
| }

That said, its far too warm and I might just not be making sense.
