Normal.

Normal

Not normal.

That's normal because there is already a description registered.

In perfmon_intel_core.c, look at the :

static int pfm_core_probe_pmu(void)
{
        unsigned int i;

        /*
         * Check for Intel Core processor explicitely
         * Checking for cpu_has_perfmon is not enough as this
         * matches intel Core Duo/Core Solo but none supports
         * PEBS.
         *
         * Intel Core = arch perfmon v2 + PEBS
         */
        if (cpu_data->x86 != 6 || cpu_data->x86_model != 15)

If you come in with 6,14, this should fail. But it seems you have things
compiled in, so maybe there is something wrong there
