ubuntu problems with PAPI_LD_INS PAPI_SR_INS

dear all
I am using a macbook pro with an ivybridge cpu (Intel Core i7 3615QM) and Ubuntu 14.04 lts.
Adding the counters PAPI_LD_INS or PAPI_SR_INS to an eventset fails starting with linux kernels more recent than 3.11.0-20-generic. The first kernel showing the problem is 3.13.something...
The faulty behavior is also visible using
>papi_command_line PAPI_LD_INS
and
>papi_command_line PAPI_SR_INS
which both fail telling sth about invalid counter.

with gdb i could track the problem up to the system call.

does anyone know how to cure this problem?
