yea strange.. it should be picked up from /proc/kallsyms as
fallback if there's no other source, I'll check on that
(might be the problem with perf depending on address going
only higher in /proc/kallsyms, while bpf symbols are at the
end and start over from the lowest bpf address)

anyway, in perf we enumerate bpf_progs via the perf events
PERF_BPF_EVENT_PROG_LOAD,PERF_BPF_EVENT_PROG_UNLOAD interface
together with PERF_RECORD_KSYMBOL_TYPE_BPF events

we might need to add something like:
  PERF_RECORD_KSYMBOL_TYPE_BPF_TRAMPOLINE
  PERF_RECORD_KSYMBOL_TYPE_BPF_DISPATCHER

to notify about the area, I'll check on that

however the /proc/kallsyms fallback should work in any
case.. thanks for report ;-)
