Works for you if you test in lockstep the tooling with the kernel sources, right? It works for me as well, if I use the latest tip/master tooling _and_ kernel, my report was for using the 4.2.0-rc latest for the kernel and the tooling in tip/master. I think this would be just a matter of having a better message, or perhaps some fix that we need to send to the stable@kernel.org guys, so that the new tooling works with a slightly older kernel. Anyway, consider looking at that perf.data file that I fixed the permissions on vger, and I will look at the fix you mentioned in another message. - Arnaldo
