What does '[unknown] [perf-18047.map]' mean? Does this mean
perf-18047.map is not found? If the perf-<pid>.map file cannot be found,
symbolization won't be possible. Maybe you want to double check this?

The file perf-18047.map is there and from other parts of the stack trace I can see it being used to successfully resolve symbols.

Thanks!

I have no experience with perf-map-agent, but the following is what I guess:
[perf-18047.map] is used to find the mapping between address and symbol.
What does '[unknown] [perf-18047.map]' mean? Does this mean
perf-18047.map is not found? If the perf-<pid>.map file cannot be found,
symbolization won't be possible. Maybe you want to double check this?
