From: Oleg Nesterov perf_trace_buf_prepare() + perf_trace_buf_submit() make no sense if this task/CPU has no active counters. Change kprobe_perf_func() and kretprobe_perf_func() to check call->perf_events beforehand and return if this list is empty. For example, "perf record -e some_probe -p1". Only /sbin/init will report, all other threads which hit the same probe will do perf_trace_buf_prepare/perf_trace_buf_submit just to realize that nobody wants perf_swevent_event().
