I don't understand how a specific piece of hardware directly leads to ring buffer processing timeouts, or multi-minute thread map processing times... You'll have to explain all of the details of your test scenerio, and the exact problems triggers, which caused you to write these patches which causes serious regressions for what I consider a core simple use case of perf top. And that's running perf top during a parallel kernel build.
