Thanks, I did this research and bisection earlier today, some more tests
and the result matches yours and is available at:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/perf/perf-tools.git/commit/?h=perf-tools

I used that ZMlrzcVrVi1lTDmn@tassilo in the Link: tag, as Linus stated
he prefers the discussion leading to the patch than the URL for the
patch itself once submitted.

Now I'll wait a bit till it lands in linux-next/pending-fixes to then
send it to Linus.

Thanks again!
