ok, nokalsr makes it work too.
Booting with that and using the perf binary from 3.14rc6 , I just see..

9.30% [kernel] [k] 0xffffffffaf18e887
7.98% [kernel] [k] 0xffffffffaf3276c7
6.10% [kernel] [k] 0xffffffffaf18dd3a
4.39% [kernel] [k] 0xffffffffaf327717
1.71% [kernel] [k] 0xffffffffaf18e89c
1.52% [kernel] [k] 0xffffffffaf3276cc

Curiously, if I use the perf binary from 3.13, I see everything lumped together as..

95.89% [kernel].exit.text [k] 0x000000002e586c26

(When kaslr is disabled both binaries work fine)

Also maybe related: The rc6 binary claims it can't read symbols from vmlinux
when kaslr is enabled.
