That does fail:
# ps -C rsyslogd -L
  PID   LWP TTY          TIME CMD
  795   795 ?        00:00:00 rsyslogd
  795   797 ?        00:00:00 rsyslogd
  795   798 ?        00:00:00 rsyslogd

# /tmp/build-perf/perf top -p 795
Failed to mmap with 22 (Invalid argument)

strace shows it failing at:
ioctl(4, PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_OUTPUT, 0x3) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)

Changing to use thread only works:
# /tmp/build-perf/perf top -t 795
