Sure.  I applied this patch on the perf/core branch (with latest
commit 3e4fbf36c1e3 'perf augmented_raw_syscalls: Move reading
filename to the loop') and passed testing with below steps:

# perf record -e cs_etm/@..._etr0/ -S -m,64 --per-thread ./sort &
[1] 19097
Bubble sorting array of 30000 elements

# kill -USR2 19097
# kill -USR2 19097
# kill -USR2 19097
[ perf record: Woken up 4 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.753 MB perf.data ]

FWIW:
