Hi Arnaldo,

I'm seeing a test failure on Alderlake in perf-tools-next and wondered
if it was on your radar:
```
 32: Session topology                                                :

Session topology: FAILED!
```

The code is hitting this line in evlist__valid_sample_type as
core.nr_entries is 2 on hybrid not 1:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/perf/perf-tools-next.git/tree/tools/perf/util/evlist.c?h=perf-tools-next#n1215
this causes perf_session__open to fail:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/perf/perf-tools-next.git/tree/tools/perf/util/session.c?h=perf-tools-next#n129

Thanks,
