Good question! Pick what you like... :-)
The issue in question originates from a patch set of 10 patches.
The patch set rebuilds event sample with filtering and migrates
from perf tool's selective process picking to more generic eBPF
filtering using eBPF programs hooked to perf events.
To be precise, the issue Ilya's patch fixes is this:
Fixes: 63f2f5ee856ba ("libbpf: add ability to attach/detach BPF program to perf event")
However the issue (perf failure) does *NOT* show up until this patch is applied:
commit b4c658d4d63d61 ("perf target: Remove uid from target")
There are some patches in between the two (when you look at the complete patch set),
but they do not affect the result.
Hope that helps.
