Yeah, my bad, thanks for the reminder, did the split and added to my
perf/core branch,

Also I'm adding this:

  Cc: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@xxxxxxxxxx>
  Cc: Mathieu Poirier <mathieu.poirier@xxxxxxxxxx>
  Fixes: 1b36c03e3569 ("perf record: Add support for using symbols in address filters")

So that people that were involved in the patch that introduced this
feature gets notified of this fix, also for backporters to take notice,
please try to do this in the future.

Thanks,
