This is how perf reports the dynamically generated code emitted by llvm.
But...
4.91% gnome-shell swrast_dri.so [.]

3.50% gnome-shell swrast_dri.so [.]

2.60% gnome-shell libX11.so.6.3.0 [.] _XPutPixel32
2.57% gnome-shell libX11.so.6.3.0 [.] _XGetPixel32
That the percentages fall off so quickly is a little suspicious. To me
that reads as though gnome-shell itself is being starved for work to do
and that other things are actually taking more time. Is this perf trace
from the whole system or just of gnome-shell?
