Patch "perf record: Mark MAP_HUGETLB when synthesizing mmap events") breaks
MMAP event synthesis. The executable name comparison will match any name
if the length is zero, resulting in all the user space maps becoming
anonymous. This is particularly noticeable with system-wide traces.
Example:
perf record -a sleep 1
perf script --show-mmap-events
