Ok, I take that back, it is related:

[root@...et perf]# perf test -F -v "mmap interface" |& grep -v plugins
 4: Read samples using the mmap interface                 :
--- start ---
perf_evsel__new(sys_enter_getppid)
---- end ----
Read samples using the mmap interface: FAILED!
[root@...et perf]#

[root@...et perf]# strace -e openat -e file perf test -F -v "mmap interface" |& grep syscalls
openat(AT_FDCWD, "/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/syscalls/sys_enter_getsid/format", O_RDONLY) = 3
openat(AT_FDCWD, "/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/syscalls/sys_enter_getppid/format", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
[root@...et perf]#

Where did syscalls:sys_enter_getppid go? Zero argument syscall,
investigating...
