Sorry. the API has changed. You should use map:channel.event=evt,
not ...channel:event...

This is my test result:
  $ cat ~/.perfconfig
  [llvm]
    clang-path = "/tmp/oxygen_root/usr/bin/clang"
  $ sudo ./perf record -a -e bpf-output/no-inherit,name=evt/ -e 
./test_bpf_output.c/map:channel.event=evt/ ls /
  bin   cdrom  etc   initrd.img  lib32  libx32      media  opt root  
sbin  sys    usr  vmlinuz
  boot  dev    home  lib           lib64  lost+found  mnt     proc run   
srv   tmp    var
  [ perf record: Woken up 0 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.772 MB perf.data (501 samples) ]

  $ sudo ~/perf script
             perf 15478 [001] 6571474.169705: 0                       
evt:  ffffffff81238c41 sys_write+0x1 (/lib/module
       BPF output: 0000: 23 b3 78 d3 b6 58 17 00  #.x..X..
                   0008: 01 00 00 00
  ....


But in your case it reports can't locate kbuild dir. Please fix it, or the
  #include <uapi/linux/bpf.h>
at the head of test-bpf-output.c causes failure.

Thank you.
