Because of commitbf794bf52a("powerpc/kprobes: Fix kallsyms lookup across powerpc ABIv1 and ABIv2"), in ppc64 ABIv1, our perf command eliminates the need to use the prefix "." at the symbol name. But when the command "perf probe -a schedule" is executed on ppc64 ABIv1, it obtains two symbol address information through /proc/kallsyms, for example: cat /proc/kallsyms | grep -w schedule c000000000657020 T .schedule c000000000d4fdb8 D schedule The symbol "D schedule" is not a function symbol, and perf will print: "p:probe/schedule _text+13958584"Failed to write event: Invalid argument Therefore, when searching symbols from map and adding probe point for them, a symbol type check is added. If the type of symbol is not a function, skip it.

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.
