for this I was using tools/testing/selftests/bpf/test_verifier

I isolated some tests and ran the perf on top of them, like:

  # perf-with-kcore record pt -e intel_pt//ku -- ./test_verifier ...

I had to add some small sleep before the test_verifier exit,
so the perf bpf thread could catch up and download the program
details before test_verifier exited.
