What environment is this? I tried to reproduce this here but got
different results, and I had to figure out the 'perf record' you used,
you forgot to mention it, i.e. 'perf record ./hello' doesn't work, one
has to use 'perf record /full/path/to/hello', anyway, with my
environemnt, which is:

[root@jouet ~]# objdump -v
GNU objdump version 2.26.1-1.fc25

I end up getting:

<SNIP>

Which looks ok, i.e. since this version of objdump puts just the basename (hello.c),
that grep doesn't nuke it.

But yeah, your patch is more robust, just fix what I described below, i.e. use
quotes in the grep -v bit, probably.

Are you sure this works as you expect? I.e. both lines will have '%s:'
that space just before the '|' will not be considered by grep
