	Intel PT decoding walks the object code to reconstruct the trace. A jump label change during tracing causes decoding errors. The "Enable close-on-exec flag on perf file descriptor" patch caused there to be always a jump label change. It was found that using a per-cpu context instead of a per-thread context for the probe of the close-on-exec feature, made the problem go away.

2014-07-18	perf tools: Enable close-on-exec flag on perf file descriptor	Yann Droneaud
	In commit a21b0b354d4a ('perf: Introduce a flag to enable close-on-exec in perf_event_open()'), flag PERF_FLAG_FD_CLOEXEC was added to perf_event_open(2) syscall to allows userspace to atomically enable close-on-exec behavor when creating the file descriptor. This patch makes perf tools use the new flag if supported by the kernel, so that the event file descriptors got automatically closed if perf tool exec a sub-command.
