I tried to test these for ARM, but I get compilation errors. Maybe you
forgot to enable perf in the ARM .config? Anyway, the compiler log is:

  CC      arch/arm/kernel/perf_event.o
arch/arm/kernel/perf_event.c: In function 'validate_event':
arch/arm/kernel/perf_event.c:342: error: 'pmu' undeclared (first use in this function)
arch/arm/kernel/perf_event.c:342: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
arch/arm/kernel/perf_event.c:342: error: for each function it appears in.)
arch/arm/kernel/perf_event.c: In function 'armpmu_event_init':
arch/arm/kernel/perf_event.c:536: warning: return makes integer from pointer without a cast
arch/arm/kernel/perf_event.c: In function 'init_hw_perf_events':
arch/arm/kernel/perf_event.c:3037: error: expected ';' before 'return'
arch/arm/kernel/perf_event.c:3038: warning: no return statement in function returning non-void
make[1]: *** [arch/arm/kernel/perf_event.o] Error 1
make: *** [arch/arm/kernel] Error 2

I think there's a missing semicolon, an ERR_PTR that should be a PTR_ERR
and an ordering issue with the pmu struct.

Cheers,

Will
