nothing exists below /sys/kernel/debug
does the kernel need to be built with debug flags? or a switch flicked on somewhere?

Here perf is trying to open this file:
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/power/cpu_frequency/id
with the old version it was:
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/vfs/dirty_inode/id
(which doesn't exist here anymore)

Could you please look which files of those two exist on your arm device?
