The problem is that the kretprobe_trampoline symbol looks like this: $ eu-readelf -s /boot/vmlinux G kretprobe_trampoline 2431: c000000001302368 24 NOTYPE LOCAL DEFAULT 37 kretprobe_trampoline_holder 2432: c00000000003d300 8 FUNC LOCAL DEFAULT 1 .kretprobe_trampoline_holder 97543: c00000000003d300 0 NOTYPE GLOBAL DEFAULT 1 kretprobe_trampoline Its type is NOTYPE, and its size is 0, and this is a problem because symbol-elf.c:dso__load_sym skips function symbols that are not STT_FUNC or STT_GNU_IFUNC (this is determined by elf_sym__is_function). Even if the type is changed to STT_FUNC, when dso__load_sym calls symbols__fixup_duplicate, the kretprobe_trampoline symbol is dropped in favour of .kretprobe_trampoline_holder because the latter has non-zero size (as determined by choose_best_symbol). With this patch, all vmlinux symbols match /proc/kallsyms and the testcase passes. Commit c1c355ce14c0 ("x86/kprobes: Get rid of kretprobe_trampoline_holder()") gets rid of kretprobe_trampoline_holder altogether on x86. This commit does the same on powerpc. This change introduces no regressions on the perf and ftracetest testsuite results. Cc: Ananth N Mavinakayanahalli Cc: Michael Ellerman Reviewed-by: Naveen N.
