Please have a look at patch [1]. With that patch kernel will dump 
something into
log buffer. In your case, you will see:

root@sandybridge:~# /tmp/perf record -e /tmp/test_config_base.o ls
libbpf: load bpf program failed: Invalid argument
libbpf: -- BEGIN DUMP LOG ---
libbpf:
Kernel version mismatch: 0x40400 != 0x40300

libbpf: -- END LOG --
libbpf: failed to load program 'func_write=sys_write'
libbpf: failed to load object '/tmp/test_config_base.o'
event syntax error: '/tmp/test_config_base.o'
                      \___ Invalid argument: Are you root and runing a 
CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL kernel?

(add -v to see detail)
Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events
...

And I'd like to improve the error message output by perf.

Do you want me to send a patch for fixing this problem or modifying 
existing patches
in my git tree?

Thank you.
