For Intel systems precise event sampling is implemented with PEBS
which supports up to precise-level 2.
which supports up to precise-level 2, and precise level 3 for
some special cases
On AMD systems it is implemented using IBS (up to precise-level 2).
The precise modifier works with event types 0x76 (cpu-cycles, CPU
