Hmm.

Anyway, what kernel are you on?  I think I fixed your specific issue in:

commit 27747f8bc355a2808ca9e490ab6866acd85b4c16
Author: Andy Lutomirski <luto@xxxxxxxxxx>

    perf/x86/hw_breakpoints: Fix check for kernel-space breakpoints

If that does fix it and it's a problem for you on older kernels, you
could ask for a backport.
