Thanks!

Hmm...I don't see how this commit can cause oops:

In your .config, CONFIG_EVENT_PROFILE=y, so this change makes
no difference.

You will run into this hunk only when you run the perf tool,
so should have nothing to do with the boot failure.

We do an extra check on ->profile_enable, shouldn't cause bug..

> id);

Any way, I don't think this commit does the right thing:

- If CONFIG_EVENT_PROFILE=y, we'll create events/<dir>/<event>/id,
except events/ftrace/<event>/id.

- if CONFIG_EVENT_PROFILE=n, there's no 'id' file at all!

I think it's better to skip ftrace/ dir in perf tool code, instead of
skipping creating id files in ftrace code.

can you try this patch:
