Hm. I just did a record, then report with and without -k -m, and now
get identical reports with your config (plus some more modules) here.

I'm testing with freshly pulled and built tip+patch
.

You can't annotate module symbols without -m. If you don't provide -k,
annotate will look for vmlinux in cwd. If there's one there, it'll
silently parse it. For a module symbol, no -m means no symbol.
marge:/root/tmp # perf annotate -v -v -m ext3_mark_iloc_dirty 2>&1| grep ext3_mark_iloc_dirty
new symbol: ffffffffa005f8cf [0000dead]: ext3_mark_iloc_dirty [ext3], hist: (nil), obj_start: (nil)
ffffffffa005f8cf-ffffffffa005fc20 ext3_mark_iloc_dirty [ext3]
Error: symbol 'ext3_mark_iloc_dirty' not present amongst the samples.
With -k -m it works here.
marge:/root/tmp # perf annotate -v -v -k vmlinux.avi -m ext3_mark_iloc_dirty 2>&1| grep ext3_mark_iloc_dirty
new symbol: ffffffffa005f8cf [00000352]: ext3_mark_iloc_dirty, hist: (nil), obj_start: 0x38cf
