Thanks for providing the detailed analysis and test steps, I've
reproduced the problem before the patch and it now works with your
patch:

[acme@...e tmp]$ sudo perf probe -x ./test main:6
Added new event:
  probe_test:main_L6   (on main:6 in /tmp/test)

You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

	perf record -e probe_test:main_L6 -aR sleep 1

[acme@...e tmp]$

Thanks, applied.
