I tried it on CentOS Stream release 8, with 

  gcc version 8.4.1 20200928 (Red Hat 8.4.1-1) (GCC)
  clang version 11.0.0 (Red Hat 11.0.0-0.2.rc2.module_el8.4.0+533+50191577)

Unfortunately, I still cannot repro it. 

I didn't find the issue while looking through the code. AFAICS, the code
fail over when the skeleton is not ready, so bpf_program_profiler__read()
should find a valid skeleton. 

Could you please help run the test with the following patch? The patch is 
also available at 

    https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/song/linux.git perf-dash-b

Thanks,
Song
