Count is:

u64 *count = counter->counts->aggr.values;

And counter->counts type is:

struct perf_counts_values {
        union {
                struct {
                        u64 val;
                        u64 ena;
                        u64 run;
                };
                u64 values[3];
        };
};

struct perf_counts {
        s8                        scaled;
        struct perf_counts_values aggr;
        struct perf_counts_values cpu[];
};

So for counter->counts->aggr.values to be 0x12 counter->counts must be
NULL...
