It shouldn't crash on x86_64:
root@...co ~]# sysctl kernel.kptr_restrict
kernel.kptr_restrict = 0
[root@...co ~]# perf record -e instructions:k uname

Can you please try with my perf/cap branch? Perhaps you're using Igor's
original set of patches? I made changes to the fallback, he was making
it return false while I made it fallback to geteuid() == 0, as was
before his patches.
