Turns out the issue is introduced in the following commit:
commit 6e22ab9da79343532cd3cde39df25e5a5478c692
Author: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@xxxxxxxxxx>
Date: Tue Aug 25 21:21:20 2020 +0200
bpf: Add d_path helper
The issue can be observed reliably when building kernel in Fedora 33 with
F33's kernel config.
GCC: gcc version 10.2.1 20200826 (Red Hat 10.2.1-3) (GCC)
