Symbols are needed for tools to describe instruction addresses. Pages allocated for kprobe's purposes need symbols to be created for them. Add such symbols to be visible via /proc/kallsyms. Note: kprobe insn pages are not used if ftrace is configured. To see the effect of this patch, the kernel must be configured with: # CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER is not set CONFIG_KPROBES=y and for optimised kprobes: CONFIG_OPTPROBES=y Example on x86: # perf probe __schedule Added new event: probe:__schedule (on __schedule) # cat /proc/kallsyms | grep '\[__builtin__kprobes\]' ffffffffc00d4000 t kprobe_insn_page [__builtin__kprobes] ffffffffc00d6000 t kprobe_optinsn_page [__builtin__kprobes] Note: This patch adds "__builtin__kprobes" as a module name in /proc/kallsyms for symbols for pages allocated for kprobes' purposes, even though "__builtin__kprobes" is not a module.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
