Runs ok on 5.10. I'm starting bisecting now.
Thanks for reporting, got the issue. What has happened in this case is that, pmu device is not
registered
and trying to access the instruction point which will land in perf_instruction_pointer(). And
recently I have added
a workaround patch for power10 DD1 which has caused this breakage. My bad. We are working on a
fix patch
for the same and will post it out. Sorry again.
Hi Christophe,
Can you please try with below patch in your environment and test if it works
for you.

Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/perf: Fix crash with 'perf_instruction_pointer' when
pmu is not set
On systems without any specific PMU driver support registered, running
perf record causes oops:

During perf record session, perf_instruction_pointer() is called to
capture the sample ip. This function in core-book3s accesses ppmu->flags.
If a platform specific PMU driver is not registered, ppmu is set to NULL
and accessing its members results in a crash. Fix this crash by checking
if ppmu is set.

Thanks, but just wonder what is the system config and processor version in
which you got this fail.
Reason, we do have generic-pmu which should kick-in in absence of a platform
specific driver.
It's an mpc8321 (book3s/32)
