It turns out that arch/x86/events/intel/core.c makes use of "empty"
attributes.
static struct attribute *empty_attrs;
__init int intel_pmu_init(void)
{
struct attribute **extra_skl_attr = &empty_attrs;
struct attribute **extra_attr = &empty_attrs;
struct attribute **td_attr = &empty_attrs;
struct attribute **mem_attr = &empty_attrs;
struct attribute **tsx_attr = &empty_attrs;
...
That breaks the assumption __first_visible() that expects that if
grp->attrs is set then grp->attrs[0] must also be set and results in
backtraces like:

Check for non-empty attributes array before calling is_visible().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
