This is the buggy one:

[acme@ssdandy linux]$ perf record usleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.018 MB perf.data (~770 samples) ]
[acme@ssdandy linux]$ git show 9b2fd7840cb0d23068bc97e08db46f57f41021fe

    perf record: Get ref_reloc_sym from kernel map
    
    Now that ref_reloc_sym is set up when the kernel map is created, 'perf
    record' does not need to pass the symbol names to
    perf_event__synthesize_kernel_mmap() which can read the values needed
    from ref_reloc_sym directly.
