well, I'm not sure about other exploits,
but single program can crash the server 

attaching the complete patch (and cc-ing Ingo)

Vince (and later on Ravi) reported crash in BTS code during
fuzzing with following backtrace:

The reason is that while event init code does several checks
for BTS events and prevents several unwanted config bits for
BTS event (like precise_ip), the PERF_EVENT_IOC_PERIOD allows
to create BTS event without those checks being done.

Following sequence will cause the crash:
  - create 'almost' BTS event with precise_ip and callchains,
    (perf command line -e option equiv.):

    -e cpu/branch-instructions/up -c 2 -g

  - change the period of that event to '1', which will turn
    it to BTS event, with precise_ip and callchains

That will immediately cause crash in perf_prepare_sample
function because precise_ip events are expected to come
in with callchain data initialized, but that's not the
case for intel_pmu_drain_bts_buffer caller.

Adding a check_period callback to be called before the period
is changed via PERF_EVENT_IOC_PERIOD. It will deny the change
if the event would become BTS. Plus adding also the limit_period
check as well.
