Some more context:

When this patch was implemented/tested I had access only to an ARM64
hybrid machine, now my notebook is a Rocket Lake lenovo (13th gen), that
is hybrid and the test is failing with:

On your Intel this should have previously returned true as
"perf_pmus__num_core_pmus() > 1", and with the new code presumably
is_event_supported is returning false. Could you dump the PMU's name
at that point? Is cpu_core or cpu_atom looking like it doesn't support
the event? Is the test failing when run as root (ie is
is_event_supported failing to have expected fallback paths)?

Thanks,
Ian

Problem is the test scrapes debug output and is_event_supported()
prints out debug that confuses the test. Other probe functions
like in perf_api_probe.c use sys_perf_event_open() so the issue
has not arisen before.
