I was using yesterday's -tip tree, and I just updated to the latest -tip,
and I found perf tools are not working:

# ./perf kmem record sleep 3
...
# ./perf trace
            perf-1805  [001]    66.239160: kmem_cache_free: ...
            perf-1806  [000]    66.403561: kmem_cache_alloc: ...
         swapper-0     [000]    66.420099: kmem_cache_free: ...
# ./perf kmem record sleep 3
...
# ./perf trace
# ./perf sched record sleep 3
.../
# ./perf trace
            perf-1825  [000]   103.543014: sched_stat_runtime: ...
# ./perf sched record sleep 3
...
# ./perf trace
#

So I think some new updates on kernel perf_event break.
