Hi Arnaldo,

Here is a series of patches to fix the perf-probe error against the
Fedora34 glibc update, which moves most of symbols from .symtab to
.dynsym. The key is that the "most of" symbols moved, but it still
have some PLT symbols in .symtab. Thus the perf symbol-elf failes to
decode symbols.

Here is the original report from Thomas about this issue.

Thank you,
