yep, it's taken into account:

[jolsa@krava perf]$ ./perf record --output result_1 --dir ./perf bench sched messaging
Couldn't synthesize bpf events.
# Running 'sched/messaging' benchmark:
# 20 sender and receiver processes per group
# 10 groups == 400 processes run

[jolsa@krava perf]$ ll result_1/
