Subject: [BUG] perf: can not resolve symbols for forked threads

Hi

I got the below output that shows perf can not resolve symbols for forked threads. I did a system-wide collection from all CPUs after the application hello run.

-bash-4.1$ ./perf --version
perf version 3.16.rc1.ge99cfa2
-bash-4.1$ ./hello & ./perf record -a sleep 5
-bash-4.1$ ./perf report
# Overhead      Command       Shared Object                         Symbol
