Sorry, Shoule be "muted in most case"...

Here's an example:

$ sudo ./perf record -v -e ./test_bpf_base.c ls
...
ude/uapi -Iinclude/generated/uapi -include 
/home/w00229757/linux-hydrogen/include/linux/kconfig.h

set env: CLANG_SOURCE=/home/w00229757/./test_bpf_base.c

-D__NR_CPUS__=$NR_CPUS -DLINUX_VERSION_CODE=$LINUX_VERSION_CODE

libbpf: section .text, size 0, link 0, flags 6, type=1
libbpf: section .data, size 0, link 0, flags 3, type=1
...
libbpf: kernel version of ./test_bpf_base.c is 40300
libbpf: section .symtab, size 96, link 1, flags 0, type=2
bpf: config program 'func_write=vfs_write file->f_mode'
symbol:vfs_write file:(null) line:0 offset:0 return:0 lazy:(null)
parsing arg: file->f_mode into file, f_mode(1)
bpf: config 'func_write=vfs_write file->f_mode' is ok

If the error you pointed out is triggered, it should be:

libbpf: error: map handler doesn't belong to object ...

So we can always find which error message is belone to libbpf
and which is belone to perf.
