Maybe: perf_event_read_local(), as this is this function only works for
events active on the current CPU.

You can return perf_event_count() in that case.

That _must_ be smp_processor_id(). If that gives a warning (ie.
preemption is not disabled or we're not affine to this one cpu) then the
warning is valid.

> +	    event->ctx->task != current)

Write it like:

	if (event->ctx->task != current &&
	    event->oncpu != smp_processor_id())

That way you'll not evaluate smp_processor_id() for current task events.

This should be in your accept function, inherited events should never
get this far.

You need IRQs disabled while calling __perf_event_read(), did you test
with lockdep enabled?

Also, you probably want a WARN_ON(in_nmi()) there, this function is
_NOT_ NMI safe.
