Description
When processing profile data from user libraries using the perf2bolt tool, a warning _"PERF2BOLT: out of range traces involving unknown regions: 15765671 (98.4%) "_ occurred, causing the profile data to fail to take effect. When ASLR is disabled in the data collection scenario, this metric decreases. Is this coincidental? Has anyone else encountered a similar issue?
The specific process is as follows:
```
perf2bolt --pa -p=libxx.profdata" -o libxx.fdata libxx.symbol"
BOLT-INFO: shared object or position-independent executable detected
