A basic perf callgraph record operation causes an immediate panic on a
32-bit kernel compiled with CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR=y:

  $ perf record -g ls
  Kernel panic - not syncing: stack-protector: Kernel stack is corrupted in: c0404fbd

  ---[ end Kernel panic - not syncing: stack-protector: Kernel stack is corrupted in: c0404fbd

The panic is caused by the fact that perf_callchain_user() mistakenly
assumes it's 64-bit only and ends up corrupting the stack.
