That first cup of coffee is so important.

Would you mind adding this patch:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/2/29/217
and see if it fixes your problem?
Quick test with an updated tree:
$ /tmp/pbuild/perf record -a sleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.046 MB perf.data (~1990 samples) ]
$ /tmp/pbuild/perf script
<samples dumped>
$ /tmp/pbuild/perf --version
perf version perf.core.for.mingo.36.g8eedce
This is your tip.git repository, tip/perf/core branch:
[remote "tip"]
url = git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git
fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/tip/*
[branch "tip-perf-core"]
remote = tip
merge = refs/heads/perf/core
I did noticed that this branch only shows 3.3.0-rc2 as the latest kernel
version.

Is the other system Intel based?
