So, I built the kernel with my normal .config, using your command line and got:
[acme@jouet linux]$ perf report --header-only perf.data
# ========
# captured on: Mon Aug 29 15:48:10 2016
# hostname : jouet
# os release : 4.8.0-rc3+
# perf version : 4.8.rc2.g21a116
# arch : x86_64
# nrcpus online : 4
# nrcpus avail : 4
# cpudesc : Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-5600U CPU @ 2.60GHz
# cpuid : GenuineIntel,6,61,4
# total memory : 7869032 kB
# cmdline : /home/acme/bin/perf record -e cycles make O=../build/v4.8.0-rc4 -j
-j5
# event : name = cycles:u, , size = 112, { sample_period, sample_freq } = 4000,
sample_type = IP|TID|TIME|PERIOD, disabled = 1, inherit = 1, exclude_kernel =
# HEADER_CPU_TOPOLOGY info available, use -I to display
# HEADER_NUMA_TOPOLOGY info available, use -I to display
# pmu mappings: intel_pt = 7, intel_bts = 6, uncore_arb = 12, cstate_pkg = 15,
breakpoint = 5, uncore_cbox_1 = 11, power = 13, cpu = 4, software = 1, uncore_i
# HEADER_CACHE info available, use -I to display
# ========
#
But it didn't crash:
[acme@jouet linux]$ ls -lah perf.data
-rw-------. 1 acme acme 1.8G Aug 29 13:00 perf.data
[acme@jouet linux]$
[acme@jouet linux]$ perf --version
perf version 4.8.rc4.g3eab88
And this was with:
[acme@jouet linux]$ git log --oneline | head -5

I.e. 4.8-rc4 from git.
