Song, that is what I have, can I have your Acked-by and please consider
taking a look at the bug Jiri reported,

Thanks,

    perf record: Do not synthesize BPF records when --no-bpf-event is used
    
    By default we synthesize and ask the kernel for BPF events, having a
    --no-bpf-event option to disable that, which can be useful, for
    instance, if there are still bugs in that code, which seems to be the
    case as reported by Jiri Olsa in:
    
      "[BUG] perf: intel_pt won't display kernel function"
      https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20190403143738.GB32001@krava
    
    So add the check for record_opts.no_bpf_event when considering
    synthesizing BPF events for pre-existing BPF programs in 'perf record'.
    
    The reported bug needs further analysis and is a separate matter.
