Thanks, testing it I still have that artifact:

 ---------------------------------------

[root@jouet perf]# perf probe -x /lib64/libc-2.25.so malloc_get_state\\@GLIBC_2.2.5
Added new event:
  probe_libc:malloc_get_state (on malloc_get_state@xxxxxxxxxxx in /usr/lib64/libc-2.25.so)

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

	perf record -e probe_libc:malloc_get_state -aR sleep 1

[root@jouet perf]# perf probe -l
Failed to find debug information for address dd38eca7
  probe_libc:malloc_get_state (on 0xdd38eca7 in /usr/lib64/libc-2.25.so)
[root@jouet perf]#

 ---------------------------------------

I mean the "on 0xdd38eca7" part:


That failed to find debug information part:

[root@jouet perf]# perf probe -vv -l
Add filter: *

  probe_libc:malloc_get_state (on 0xdd38eca7 in /usr/lib64/libc-2.25.so)
[root@jouet perf]#

Ok, so build-id mismatch, lets see:

[root@jouet perf]# rpm -q glibc glibc-debuginfo
glibc-2.25-10.fc26.x86_64
glibc-2.25-10.fc26.i686
glibc-debuginfo-2.25-12.fc26.x86_64
[root@jouet perf]#

Ok, the debuginfo file is newer than the glibc installed, updating glibc
now...

We could have a more informative message in this case, right? I.e.
something like:

[root@jouet perf]# perf probe -l
There was a build-id mismatch while trying to resolve 0xdd38eca7, please
check your system's debuginfo files for mismatches, e.g. check the
versions for glibc and glibc-debuginfo.
