I appreciate you taking another stab at pulling this in.  My turn to
apologize for the delay.

Assuming that I'd failed to test 'perf top -g' I went ahead and re-ran
this with the last version of the patch I sent out parented against the
4.8 STABLE branch.  That didn't trigger any assertion failures for me.

Is this branch that gave you merge conflicts now in perf/core or
otherwise publicly avilable?  If so, I'd be happy to try to resolve any
conflicts and re-test against it.  The copy of the patch you sent out
didn't look obviously incorrect.

Thanks,

-K
