Can you rephrase the above statement?

You mean even if a module is reloaded at the same address it can have a
different symtab and thus misresolve symbols if we get a sample for one
module version and try to resolve symbols using a symtab for another
module version?

Right, we need to make sure that during a 'perf record' session a módule
isn't reloaded, because at 'perf record' exit we will record that module
build-id in a perf.data header and grab a copy (or a hardlink, if
possible) into the ~/.debug build-id cache, then, at 'perf report' time
we will read that build-id perf.data table and lookup in the build-id
cache to get the matching symtab (and full elf .ko file to do things
like annotation).
