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.
