Sorry if this was answered already, its been a while since this was posted/discussed... Are you completely sure this is not a problem on !ppc? Woudln't it be more conservative to somehow only adjust symbols for this ET_DYN type if the arch is ppc? I.e. something like moving that adjust_symbols logic to be arch_adjust_symbols(), provide a default and then override it for ppc to include also ET_DYN?

I did check and I don't think any other arch kernel uses ET_DYN, but yes, being conservative, I could just make this a arch helper.

If using the symbol table, symbol addresses are not being fixed up properly, resulting in probes being placed at wrong addresses: # perf probe do_fork Added new event: probe:do_fork (on do_fork) You can now use it in all perf tools, such as: perf record -e probe:do_fork -aR sleep 1 # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events p:probe/do_fork _text+635952 # printf "%x" 635952 9b430 # grep do_fork /boot/System.map c0000000000ab430 T .do_fork Fix by checking for ELF type ET_DYN used by ppc64 kernels.
