Yes, I used latest 5.7.0rc2 and did
./perf record -e rb0000 -- find 
./perf report -s pid,dso,sym 
and pressed 'V' in the TUI.

This gives 
     6.06%     9986:find     /lib/modules/5.7  0x1f0c86           v [k] check_chain_key 
and 
[root@m35lp76 ~]# readelf -sW /lib/modules/5.7.0-rc2d-perf+/build/vmlinux | fgrep  check_chain_key
 20698: 00000000001f0c70   486 FUNC    LOCAL  DEFAULT    1 check_chain_key
[root@m35lp76 ~]# 

which is perfectly good and in the range.

I do not follow you here, do you mean something like DSO-name+offset
for example libc-2.30.so+0x123?

Thanks
