Subject: [BUG] perf_event: crash in perf_output_begin

Hi,

While testing 2.6.34-rc7 I ran into the following issue when
using BTS sampling on Intel Core. It seems like something
is not terminated properly. I am sampling BTS per-thread
on a test program, then hit CTRL-C, one second later my
machine crashes while running bash. Crash dump below:
