Trying to disentangle this a bit further, unfortunately it uses parse_events(), its interesting to have it separated anyway, so do it.

When AUX area events are used in sampling mode, they must be the group
leader, but the group leader is also used for leader-sampling. However,
it is not desirable to use an AUX area event as the leader for
leader-sampling, because it doesn't have any samples of its own. To support
leader-sampling with AUX area events, use the 2nd event of the group as the
"leader" for the purposes of leader-sampling.
Example:
# perf record --kcore --aux-sample -e '{intel_pt//,cycles,instructions}:S' -c 10000 uname
[ perf record: Woken up 3 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.786 MB perf.data ]
# perf report
Samples: 380 of events 'anon group { cycles, instructions }', Event count (approx.): 3026164

Move leader-sampling configuration in preparation for adding support for
leader sampling with AUX area events.
Committer notes:
It only makes sense when configuring an evsel that is part of an evlist,
so the only case where it is called outside perf_evlist__config(), in
some 'perf test' entry, is safe, and even there we should just use
perf_evlist__config(), but since in that case we have just one evsel in
the evlist, it is equivalent.
Also fixed up this problem:
util/record.c: In function ‘perf_evlist__config’:
util/record.c:223:3: error: too many arguments to function ‘perf_evsel__config_leader_sampling’
223 | perf_evsel__config_leader_sampling(evsel, evlist);

Architectures are expected to know if AUX area sampling is supported by
the hardware. Add a function perf_can_aux_sample() which will determine
whether the kernel supports it.
Committer notes:
I reported that this message was taking place on a kernel without the
required bits:
# perf record --aux-sample -e '{intel_pt//u,branch-misses:u}'
Error:
The sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 7 (Argument list too long) for event (branch-misses:u).
/bin/dmesg | grep -i perf may provide additional information.
Adrian sent a patch addressing it, with this explanation:
----
perf_can_aux_sample_size() always returned true because it did not pass
the attribute size to sys_perf_event_open, nor correctly check the
return value and errno.
----
After applying it I get, later in the series, when --aux-sample is
added:
# perf record --aux-sample -e '{intel_pt//u,branch-misses:u}'
AUX area sampling is not supported by kernel
