Subject: perf samples too long without perf running (?!?)

On recent (3.13) kernels, I'm frequently getting messages like:

perf samples too long (2503 > 2500), lowering
kernel.perf_event_max_sample_rate to 50000

a few seconds to minutes after bootup.  As far as I know, I'm not
using perf.  What's going on here?
