I went and bisected the other issue anyway. It wasn't in 4.11-rc1, but in
4.12-rc4. Yes, I have a test that triggered the
c1582c231ea041 perf/core: Drop kernel samples even though :u is
specified
issue.
The test was actually losing 7% of its samples, so not just a single
sample here or there. The test had two events sampling, one at 100k and
one at 200k so I guess every other sample would have two samples
immediately back-to-back which must make it more likely to stray into the
kernel.
