I can confirm that at least on 6.7-rc2, perf is pretty busted on any
asymmetric ARM platform. It isn't clear what criteria is used to pick
the PMU, but nothing works anymore.

The saving grace in my case is that Debian still ships a 6.1 perftool
package, but that's obviously not going to last.

I'm happy to test potential fixes.
