I confess I'm not sure what you are asking. Using the latest mainline
(84196390620ac0e5070ae36af84c137c6216a7dc), perf subtest 10.3 does
pass for me:
--
$ ./perf test 10
10: PMU events                                                      :
10.1: PMU event table sanity                                        : Ok
10.2: PMU event map aliases                                         : Ok
10.3: Parsing of PMU event table metrics                            : Ok
10.4: Parsing of PMU event table metrics with fake PMUs             : Ok
