Thanks, I was able to make perf work by uninstalling the "linux-tools-common" 
test .deb and installing the stock version.

This test build resolves the problem by significantly reducing sched
migrations in the under utilized case which improves performance by
30-40% for this ebizzy testcase:

stock kernel  (4.10.0-33-generic) :
6,010      sched:sched_migrate_task

test kernel (4.10.0-33-generic #37~lp1713576) :
676      sched:sched_migrate_task

Testcase was:
perf stat -a -r 5 -e sched:sched_migrate_task ./ebizzy -t 35 -S 100

where ebizzy was using 35 threads on a system w/ 128 logical cpus total
