Missing stack symbols with perf_event's perf report, despite -fno-omit-frame-pointer compilation

[Mark Davis <markdavisinboston@gmail.com>]

I'm struggling getting perf_events to give me stack traces with symbols, 
despite reading many tutorials on the subject and doing (I think) all the 
necessary things. It's possible that my local install of perf (details on that 
below) is somehow botched? Anyway, here's what I did:

main.cpp is a simple C++ program that calls a few functions defined in the same 
file, allocates some memory and frees it, and prints a few things out.

compilation command:
    
    gcc -std=c++11 -lstdc++ main.cpp -Og -fno-omit-frame-pointer -fno-inline -o 
arr_test

profile command:

    perf record -a -g -- ./arr_test && perf report --stdio


I do get the following warnings about kernel symbols, but I don't think this 
should matter given that I only care about symbols in my application for now:

    [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
    [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.052 MB perf.data (~2285 samples) ]
    [kernel.kallsyms] with build id e22966849c48748782a1be4fe0ce94db6838b806 
not found, continuing without symbols
    [kernel.kallsyms] with build id e22966849c48748782a1be4fe0ce94db6838b806 
not found, continuing without symbols
    Warning:
    Kernel address maps (/proc/{kallsyms,modules}) were restricted.
    
    Check /proc/sys/kernel/kptr_restrict before running 'perf record'.
    
    As no suitable kallsyms nor vmlinux was found, kernel samples
    can't be resolved.
    
    Samples in kernel modules can't be resolved as well.

Here's a snippet of the output:

How can I find my symbols in perf?
