Yeah, so I think prior merging d008d5258e9c you'd see those artifacts with
new, MMAP2-aware perf tooling. Both older kernels would work fine with any
version of the tooling, and old tooling would work fine. Only new tooling
used on a kernel within the breakage window would be exposed to this.

I think the window of breakage is relatively small (you managed to hit
it), but should we add a quirk for this?

Thanks,

Ingo
