While working on reproducible builds for SLE and openSUSE, I found that our perf package differs across builds. /usr/bin/perf differs in ELF section .dynsym /usr/bin/perf differs in ELF section .rela.dyn because nftw in https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/v5.3/tools/perf/pmu-events/jevents.c#L1130 reads pmu-events/arch/x86/*/*.json in random filesystem readdir order
