Ho humm, right you are.

So we have:

static void account_event_cpu(struct perf_event *event, int cpu)
{
if (event->parent)
return;

if (has_branch_stack(event)) {
if (!(event->attach_state & PERF_ATTACH_TASK))
atomic_inc(&per_cpu(perf_branch_stack_events, cpu));
}
if (is_cgroup_event(event))
atomic_inc(&per_cpu(perf_cgroup_events, cpu));

if (event->attr.freq)
atomic_inc(&per_cpu(perf_freq_events, cpu));
}

Where the freq thing is new and shiney, but we already had the other
two. Of those, cgroup events must be per cpu so that should be good,
the branch_stack thing tests ATTACH_TASK, which should also be good, but
leaves me wonder wth they do for those that are attached to tasks.

But yes, the frequency thing is borken.
