This is because context switches can swap the task_struct::perf_event_ctxp[] pointer around. Therefore you have to either disable preemption when looking at current, or hold ctx->lock. Fix perf_event_enable_on_exec(), it loads current->perf_event_ctxp[] before disabling interrupts, therefore a preemption in the right place can swap contexts around and we're using the wrong one.
