Perf failed to add a kretprobe event with debuginfo of vmlinux which is
compiled by gcc with -fpatchable-function-entry option enabled. The
same issue with kernel module.
Issue:
# perf probe -v 'kernel_clone%return $retval'
......
Writing event: r:probe/kernel_clone__return _text+599624 $retval
Failed to write event: Invalid argument
Error: Failed to add events. Reason: Invalid argument (Code: -22)

The entry address of kernel_clone converted by debuginfo is _text+599624
(0x92648), which is consistent with the value of DW_AT_low_pc attribute.
But the symbolic address of kernel_clone from /proc/kallsyms is
ffff800010092640.
This issue is found on arm64, -fpatchable-function-entry=2 is enabled when
CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS=y;
Just as objdump displayed the assembler contents of kernel_clone,
GCC generate 2 NOPs at the beginning of each function.
kprobe_on_func_entry detects that (_text+599624) is not the entry address
of the function, which leads to the failure of adding kretprobe event.
kprobe_on_func_entry
->_kprobe_addr
->kallsyms_lookup_size_offset
->arch_kprobe_on_func_entry // FALSE
The cause of the issue is that the first instruction in the compile unit
indicated by DW_AT_low_pc does not include NOPs.
This issue exists in all gcc versions that support
-fpatchable-function-entry option.
I have reported it to the GCC community:
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=98776
Currently arm64 and PA-RISC may enable fpatchable-function-entry option.
The kernel compiled with clang does not have this issue.
FIX:
This GCC issue only cause the registration failure of the kretprobe event
which doesn't need debuginfo. So, stop using debuginfo for retprobe.
map will be used to query the probe function address.

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.
