I don't see this with these two csets removed:

7ff5b5911144 perf symbols: Use CAP_SYSLOG with kptr_restrict checks
d7604b66102e perf tools: Use CAP_SYS_ADMIN with perf_event_paranoid checks

Which were the ones I guessed were related to the problem you reported,
so they are out of my ongoing perf/core pull request to Ingo/Thomas, now
trying with these applied and your instructions...
