While not directly related to your question, I strongly encourage you to 
review the list of events and only enable those that are actually required for 
the specific issue you are investigating. Some kernel events are _extremely_ 
high frequency but have often no practical use for many (at least in my 
experience and for my own purposes). Examples for the latter are esp. the 
kmalloc tracepoints.
